Research Assistant in Green Biorefinery Pathways for Carbon Capture and Fiber Valorisation into Biobased Materials

We are seeking a Research Assistant for a fixed-term position in the Green Biorefining Technologies research group at Aarhus University, Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering. The position is part of the GrassCO2mposites project and focuses on developing green biorefinery pathways that couple carbon capture in grassland biomass with fibre valorisation into biobased materials. The position will involve experimental processing and characterization of lignocellulosic fibres derived from grass biorefinery.

Expected start date and duration of employment

This is a fixed-term position from 15 August 2026 to 31 August 2027 ( months).

Job description

The position involves experimental research within green biorefinery processing and valorisation of fibre-rich biomass streams into biobased materials. The work focuses on how processing affects the structure and functionality of lignocellulosic fibres for materi...
