Recruitment Information

Positions are open for highly motivated graduates. Candidates interested in the field of the thermo-chemical conversion and technology innovation of organic wastes (reaction mechanism, product control and pollutant generation inhibition in thermochemical conversion of organic waste) are welcome to contact me. Background in Power Engineering and Engineering Thermophysics, and Chemical Engineering and Technology is preferable. The Value-added Conversion of Organic Waste Group at USTC invites applications for postdoctoral positions. The successful applicant will join an exciting research group under the supervision of Prof. Yong Chen as well as extensively interacts with other research groups in the field of Environmental Science and Engineering, and Materials and Chemical Engineering.
