Postdoctoral Fellow - recycling of mixed plastic waste streams
ÉTS - École de technologie supérieure, Montreal, QC
L'École de technologie supérieur (ÉTS) is a rapidly evolving university in engineering and technology located in downtown Montreal. ÉTS offers undergraduate and graduate programs focused on applied engineering as well as state-of-the-art research infrastructure. ÉTS is also home to the Centech, a business incubator, offering support services for researchers wishing to commercialize their research.Join the research team led by Nicole R. Demarquette and Emna Helal !Working alongside them will enable you to develop your knowledge and skills and provide you with the opportunity to explore novel approaches to compatibilize mixed plastic waste streams and to assess their viability as feedstock materials for additive manufacturing.YOUR ROLEWhat impact will you have as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at ÉTS?Packaging plastics, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE), are among the most common postconsumer plastics in municipal solid waste streams. It's essential to separate these plastics prior to mechanical recycling.However, separating polyolefins, i.e.PE, PP, and their variants, particularly through methods like density separation, can prove challenging due to their similar density, which leads to large fractions of unsorted plastic waste called mixed plastic streams.Current attempts to mechanically recycle mixed streams face significant hurdles, notably concerning the inconsistency of melt flow properties and the poor interfacial adhesion between the different plastics in the mixtures.These factors often result in inferior mechanical properties, limited application possibilities, and ultimately, the downcycling of these materials.While numerous studies have explored compatibilization methods for immiscible polymer blends, only a few have delved into mixed plastic waste streams or their representative compositions.This project aims to explore novel approaches to compatibilize mixed plastic waste streams and to assess their viability as feedstock materials for additive manufacturing.The candidate must have a PhD (obtained within the last 5 years) in a relevant discipline, especially a PhD degree in polymer science or in a related field. Knowledge/experience in polymer blends, their processing and their compatibilization are highly recommended. Experience in polymer nanocomposites and plastics recycling is a plus. Shortlisted candidates will be requested to provide at least contact information of two references.Other skillsStrong publication record in significant journals and conferences in polymer science and related fields.Fluency in spoken and written French (intermediate or advanced level) and English (intermediate or advanced level).Strong writing and communication skillsProficiency in Microsoft Office suite, Teams and SharePoint environment.Excellent adaptability, organization, analysis and synthesis skills.Ability to work in multidisciplinary research environment.Rigorous follow-up and attention to detail.Creativity and initiative.Positive and collaborative attitude.Start Date and fellowship durationThis postdoctoral fellowship would start as soon as possible. A contract of 1 year will be offered. Following a performance review and available funds, this fellowship could be renewed for an additional year.All applications will be processed in strict confidentiality.ÉTS will take into account any leaves that may result in career interruptions or delays. Therefore, we encourage you to mention any such leave that may have affected your professional path. We will take this information into consideration when evaluating your application.In case of a disability, we may offer accommodation measures during the hiring process.Each application must include the documents indicated below :A cover letter;Your curriculum vitae;A sample of your research achievements (e.g.: recent scientific articles).In compliance with the immigration requirements in effect in Canada, ÉTS invites all qualified individuals to apply. However, priority will be given to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. When submitting an application, it is important to indicate whether you are able to work in Canada, so that the applicable immigration procedures can be planned accordingly.Depending on your authorization to work in Canada, the date of your postdoctoral fellowship could be subject to change. To accommodate administrative delay, the starting date can be automatically postponed until September 2024 without affecting the 1 year's duration. Any additional change would be subject to the professor's approval.

Alan (OAC ’60) and Jule A. Cameron Chair in Ecological Pest Management. This Chair is funded through a $3 million endowment sponsored by Dr. Alan and Jule Cameron. The successful candidate will hold a PhD in entomology, ecology, or ecosystem science with a focus on forest ecosystems or agroecosystems and should be an exceptional emerging or established scholar who has demonstrated research excellence through a strong publication record in internationally recognized, peer-reviewed journals and who is leading or has the potential to lead in their field. Applicants should have expertise in forest and/or crop pest management with a focus on ecologically based pest management strategies and tactics in forest or agricultural systems including, for example, biological control (insects, pathogens); chemical ecology (pheromones, kairomones, allomones); minimally environmentally impactful chemical and/or biological insecticides; pathogen ecology/control; integrated pest management; etc. Experience in field-based research is an asset. The position provides an excellent opportunity to build on existing strengths and reputation within the School of Environmental Sciences (SES) in the field of pest management. The SES is a multi-disciplinary academic unit with researchers in a range of fields (soil science, geology, agricultural meteorology, forest and ecosystem science, environmental microbiology, environmental toxicology, and plant pathology) and has an outstanding international reputation in the fields of entomology, including pest management, pollinator conservation, insect ecology, and insect systematics and evolution. The position will require the development of a strong extramurally funded research program involving the mentoring of graduate and undergraduate students.
