Recruitment Information
Three new postdoc positions in Biofuels and Biorefinery in 2014
Location: Kunming, Yunnan, China
Employer: XTBG, CAS
Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) established a group for biomass and biorefinery in 2007. Three new postdoc positions have been established within this group to convert biomass to biofuels and chemicals.
The group is expected to develop an internationally recognized research program and to provide leadership in educational graduate programs in the areas of bioenergy and bio-based products. Possible topical areas of this group include thermo-chemical conversion processes, hydrothermal processes, green solvents (ionic liquids, supercritical fluids) for biorefining, nanocatalysts for biofuels, bio-diesel production processes, biological conversion processes, conversion of biomass to liquid, solid and gaseous fuels; separation of bioproducts; integration of biomass production/conversion/utilization concepts; and other relevant topics. The candidates are expected to have a background in chemical engineering, biochemical engineering, bio-processing or a related field of engineering and chemistry with demonstrated credentials in research, scholarship, published papers, supervising students and writing proposals.
Applicants are invited to send their curriculum vitae, a statement of plan for research, diplomas and the names and addresses of three references to:
Mr. Zhiyun Chen and Ms. Zhiqiu Liu
