Postdoc - Experimental characterization of structure-property relationships in cellulose-based multilayer materials for food packaging

Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique

Posted: 6 August 2026 - Sols, France

About this opening

The project focuses on replacing conventional plastic packaging with paper and cardboard alternatives, which require specific barrier properties. The postdoc will produce model structures, characterize microstructures using synchrotron X-ray microtomography, and formalize structure/property relationships. The work will be conducted at the 3SR and CTP laboratories in Grenoble, providing access to advanced experimental facilities and simulation software.
