Offer Description
Attached to the Multi-scale Biosourced Materials research team of the LGP2 laboratory, your main mission will be to monitor a research project as part of funding from the pôle universitaire d’innovation (FITInnovE). As such, you will be required to manage the project, whether at the level of the experimental part with work on a laboratory and pilot scale, or at the level of project management (meetings with multiple external or internal partners and editorial staff, report and the production of intermediate presentations).
The Research project concerns more particularly the development of injectable cellulosic materials with specific properties to replace plastics. The main scientific challenges are: cellulose and biopolymer formulation, understanding the impact of (nano)cellulose mixtures on mechanical properties, developing new processes for single use packaging, controlling recyclability and life cycle analysis. A focus on the packaging application will be carried out to propose innovative solutions and applied in order to produce prototypes.
