Nazwa stanowiska: postdoc researcher
Wymagania:

Position Requirements:
o Ph.D. in Environmental Science and Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related field obtained in the year of employment in the project or within 7 years prior to 1 January of the year of employment in the project (mandatory requirement). This period may be extended by the duration of any long-term (more than 90 days) documented sick leave or rehabilitation benefits received during that time due to an inability to work. Additionally, this period may be extended by the number of months spent on leave related to the care and upbringing of children granted under the terms set forth in the Labor Code, and in the case of women—by 18 months for each child born or adopted, if this method of accounting for breaks in the academic career is more advantageous.
o Postdoctoral Experience: 1-5 years of postdoctoral experience in a relevant research area.
o Publication Record: Strong track record of publications in high-impact journals.
o The ideal candidate will possess strong expertise in pyrolysis technologies, as well as hands-on experience with advanced analytical instruments such as GCMS and FTIR, which are essential for the characterization of pyrolysis products and waste conversion processes.
o Preferred Skills: Experience with AI applications in environmental science (e.g., process optimization, modeling).

Additional Requirements:
o Proficiency in experimental design and analytical techniques related to waste management and pyrolysis.
o Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in a multidisciplinary team.
o Proven ability to work independently, manage time efficiently, and meet deadlines
