Scientist (Advanced Biomaterials), A*STAR IMRE

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated Research Scientist to join an interdisciplinary research programme focused on lignocellulosic biomass pre-treatment and conversion into functional materials. The primary focus of this role is hands-on experimental research on biomass processing and materials development using sustainable and green chemistry approaches. This position offers a unique opportunity to work at the interface of biomass chemistry, materials science, and digital chemistry, contributing to impactful sustainable materials research.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and execute lignocellulosic biomass pre-treatment and fractionation strategies via green chemistry.
• Convert biomass-derived fractions (cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose) into functional materials, such as polymers, composites, or bio-based specialty materials.
• Perform material characterization using appropriate physicochemical techniques.
• Optimiz...
