Researcher in Fibre and Cellulose Technology - Under tillsättning eller tillsatt, ej sökbar

Are you a researcher interested in material science and innovative value-added forest-based products? Are your areas of expertise within fibre and cellulose technology? Do you have experience in leading research related projects and programs? Then you might be our next employee!

MoRe Research is a part of Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE) since 2019, and the company is located in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden. We are now recruiting a researcher in the field of fibre and cellulose technology, to join our team. The R&D team consists of nine colleagues who together have broad and deep expertise in cellulose chemistry, pulp and paper technology, composite materials but also process- and product development. Our research focuses on new materials from cellulosic raw material (e.g. biocomposites, nanopapers, cellulosic foams) and on pulp development and fibre engineering. We are looking for a researcher to strengthen our team further.

About the role
The position means that you will conduct research and lead R&D projects in collaboration with industry, academia and research institutes, both in publicly funded projects as well as direct assignments from industry. In your role, project management and R&D work in lab- and pilot scale are natural parts of your daily work along with initiating new research initiatives, apply for funding and networking/marketing.

Location: Örnsköldsvik, Sweden

Who are you?
We are looking for a researcher with expertise in fibre and cellulose technology with experience in conducting own research and project leading. The applicant should have a PhD degree in fibre-and polymer technology, pulp and paper technology, wood chemistry or cellulose chemistry.

The following is a merit:

• Experience in developing new pulping technologies and cellulose-based materials (e.g. fibre engineering, cellulose-based foams, molded pulp).
• Demonstrated ability to write research project proposals/applications for funding.
• Established network within academia, industry and research institute.
• Experience in up-scaling from lab- and pilot scale to industrial environment.

As a person, we believe you are highly motivated, enthusiastic, with a team-oriented personality.

Since we often work in international projects, it is a requirement that you have good knowledge of English, both in speech and in writing. Knowledge in the Swedish language is a merit. If you don’t have knowledge of Swedish, we believe that you with curiosity, open mind and enthusiasm want to learn a new language. 

Are we right for each other?
We cannot promise you an easy task, but we can promise you dedicated colleagues and some truly engaging and important societal challenges to tackle. You will get to work in a dynamic environment offering professional and personal development opportunities. At RISE, we want you to succeed and feel good, because together with your colleagues, you contribute to a sustainable future and to securing a leading position for Swedish industry and research globally. RISE can give you the chance to make a real difference. Welcome to Sweden’s Research Institute and Innovation Partner.
