Postdoctoral research associate – Bioenergy

The Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering at South Dakota State University (SDSU) is seeking a postdoctoral research associate. The postdoctoral research will involve in developing biomass to bio-oil and thus bio-fuels, or biomass to synthesis gas and thus hydrocarbons processes through thermochemical platform.
The applicants should have PhD degree/s in chemical engineering, or related areas. A background in catalytic development is required. Previous experience in biomass gasification and pyrolysis, catalyst preparation and application are desirable but not required.
The selected candidate will collaborate with the research team members who have unique expertise in the fields of process design, experimental analysis, catalyst development, and process control at SDSU. The research program offers interdisciplinary research opportunities on biomass gasification and pyrolysis, syngas conditioning, syngas to bio-fuels, and bio-oil upgrading to bio-fuels. The selected postdoctoral research associate will supervise graduate students, write grant proposals to secure extramural funding, and establish strong record of publications.
Qualified applicants are encouraged to send their resume, copies of transcripts, and three current references with an application letter to Dr. Lin Wei at the address below or go online via e-mail: lin.wei@sdstate.edu or weilin88@hotmail.com.
