"Postdoctoral Researcher"

Description of the position:

ASARI-UM6P is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to lead the scale-up of bioenergy and biofertilizer production processes from lab to pilot scale. The successful candidate will collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams (biologists, engineers, chemists) to design, optimize, and operate bioreactors, digesters, and other equipment. By employing advanced techniques like sensitivity analysis and process simulations, the candidate will improve yields and energy efficiency. She/he will also integrate diverse technologies into pilot plant designs, conduct trials, and manage multidisciplinary projects. To stay at the forefront of sustainable bio-based technologies, the candidate will keep abreast of the latest trends and propose innovative solutions. The candidate will provide technical support to engineers and scientists involved in process and bioprocess engineering, renewable energy, biomass, and waste valorization.

Education

A Ph.D. in Physics/Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Process engineering or a related field.

Requirement

• Strong knowledge in process engineering
• Proficiency in using simulation software for process modeling (e.g., ASPEN, SuperPro Designer…).
• Familiarity with scaling up biotechnological processes and designing pilot-scale plants.
• Ability to analyze experimental data, perform mass/energy balances, and optimize process conditions.
• Proven experience in managing pilot-scale projects, coordinating teams, and ensuring deliverables are met within deadlines.
