Post-doc Candidate: Development of Lignin Based
6 dagen geleden
**Job description**
This project is part of the FWO-SBO project ligDYN (Lignin based dynamic and circular thermosets). The consortium partners in the ligDYN project are Free University Brussels (VUB), Catholic University Leuven (KUL), Ghent University and Maastricht University.
In this LigDYN project, lignin oil obtained by Reductive Catalytic Fractionation (RCF), a game changing lignocellulose biorefining process, will be functionalized for further incorporation in three major types of Covalent Adaptive Networks (CAN). Such oils are thus ideal for downstream functionalization research, and present a clear improvement over other available types of lignin. Both dissociative and associative CANs will be explored in thermoreversibe thermoset resins for more sustainable coatings and adhesives. The resulting sustainable (anticorrosive) coatings as well as adhesives are truly sustainable because not only are these materials biobased, due to the incorporation of lignin into the network structure, but the reversible nature ensures the ability to reprocess, reshape, and recycle. Such materials hold great promise as alternatives for conventional phenolic resins, as is evident by the broad interest from industrial partners, leading to an industrial user committee with companies from the whole value chain of both coatings and adhesives.
The post-doc will be appointed at the Aachen-Maastricht Institute for Biobased Materials of Maastricht
University, which is part of the Faculty of Science and Engineering. You will work in the group of Associate Professor Katrien Bernaerts, which focusses on the synthesis and design of polymer materials with tunable properties and recyclability exploiting the functionality of biobased building blocks. You will operate from the Brightlands-Chemelot Campus in Geleen (Nl), where the labs are located.
**Requirements**:
- holds a PhD degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering or related fields;
- has skills in organic synthesis (monomers), polymer synthesis and chemical characterization;
- has interest in the material characterization of covalent adaptable networks (rheology, DMA, tensile test,);
- aims at helping to create ready-to-market products from the insights gained during the post-doc - in balance with profound scientific publishing in peer review journals;
- likes to interact with academic and industrial partners;
- is result driven, inventive, creative, counts with potential impact, works ‘accountable’ and works with ownership;
- masters scientific English for speaking, reading, and writing. Knowledge of Dutch is not required.

- Good employment conditions. The position is graded in scale 11 according to UFO profile Researcher, with corresponding salary based on experience ranging from €4492,00 and €6148,00 gross per month (based on a full-time employment of 38 hours per week).
