The candidate will be required to actively participate in the supervision of these students, alongside other academic members of staff. The ideal candidate would hold a Ph.D in engineering or science in the field of pulp or paper making with at least two years of post doctoral experience. Supervisory experience of research projects would be an advantage. Prospective students should be in possession of an undergraduate degree in Chemistry, Applied Chemistry, Wood Science or related field. Research projects will include the development of near-infrared spectroscopy as a tool to assess wood and pulp properties, development of sampling strategy to capture variability in wood properties to predict chemical and physical characteristics and their impact on chemical pulping, and pulp and paper properties.
Financial support is available for all postgraduate students.
Students working on specific research project can also earn additional support. Contact Us Copyright CSIR 2000.
