Postdoctoral Researcher in Valorization of Paraffin Waxes from Slow Pyrolysis of Hydro-pulped Solid Residues for Elastomeric Applications

The CNRS is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to work on the WAXUP project, funded under the PEPR Recycling program (France 2030). The role involves optimizing slow pyrolysis of hydro-pulped solid residues from multilayer packaging to produce high-value paraffin waxes for elastomer formulations. Key tasks include developing a modular condensation system, optimizing pyrolysis parameters, characterizing wax properties, and integrating waxes into elastomer formulations. The candidate will collaborate with the Federal University of ABC (Brazil) and work at the RAPSODEE Center at IMT Mines Albi.
