The Research Fellow will conduct research in materials science, biomass, and biomaterials, including experimental design, laboratory testing, data analysis, and preparation of research papers and reports. Candidates should typically hold a PhD in materials science, chemical engineering, chemistry, biomedical engineering, or a related discipline, with relevant research experience. Knowledge of biomass conversion, biomaterial synthesis, characterization techniques, and laboratory safety is advantageous. The role requires strong analytical, problem-solving, scientific writing, and communication skills. The successful candidate is expected to work independently and collaboratively, manage research activities responsibly, publish in reputable journals, present findings, support grant-related work, and contribute to the wider objectives of the research project and university.
