Montréal, Canada L’École de Technologie Supérieure Full time

**YOUR CAREER AT ÉTS**:
L’École de technologie supérieur (ÉTS) is a rapidly evolving university in engineering and technology located in downtown Montreal. ÉTS offers undergraduate and graduate programs focused on applied engineering as well as state-of-the-art research infrastructure. ÉTS is also home to the Centech, a business incubator, offering support services for researchers wishing to commercialize their research.

Join the research team led by **Nicole R. Demarquette** and **Emna Helal**

Working alongside them will enable you to develop your knowledge and skills and provide you with the opportunity to explore novel approaches to compatibilize mixed plastic waste streams and to assess their viability as feedstock materials for additive manufacturing.

**YOUR ROLE**:
What impact will you have as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at ÉTS?

Packaging plastics, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE), are among the most common postconsumer plastics in municipal solid waste streams. It’s essential to separate these plastics prior to mechanical recycling.

However, separating polyolefins, i.e.PE, PP, and their variants, particularly through methods like density separation, can prove challenging due to their similar density, which leads to large fractions of unsorted plastic waste called mixed plastic streams.

Current attempts to mechanically recycle mixed streams face significant hurdles, notably concerning the inconsistency of melt flow properties and the poor interfacial adhesion between the different plastics in the mixtures.

While numerous studies have explored compatibilization methods for immiscible polymer blends, only a few have delved into mixed plastic waste streams or their representative compositions.

This project aims to explore novel approaches to compatibilize mixed plastic waste streams and to assess their viability as feedstock materials for additive manufacturing.

Daily activities:

- Participate in scientific meetings and workshops. You will interact with a wide range of stakeholders and have the opportunity to develop your network and knowledge.
- Be responsible for maintaining your knowledge and keeping abreast of new opportunities related to the themes addressed by the Chair. Stimulating tasks include participating in symposia and conferences and reading scientific articles related to your field of expertise.

**REQUIREMENTS**:
Other skills
- Strong publication record in significant journals and conferences in polymer science and related fields.
- Fluency in spoken and written French (intermediate or advanced level) and English (intermediate or advanced level).
- Strong writing and communication skills
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office suite, Teams and SharePoint environment.
- Excellent adaptability, organization, analysis and synthesis skills.
- Ability to work in multidisciplinary research environment.
- Rigorous follow-up and attention to detail.
- Creativity and initiative.
- Positive and collaborative attitude.

**Start Date and fellowship duration**:

- This postdoctoral fellowship would start as soon as possible. A contract of 1 year will be offered. Following a performance review and available funds, this fellowship could be renewed for an additional year.

**TRANSMISSION DES CANDIDATURES**:
In case of a disability, we may offer accommodation measures during the hiring process.
- A cover letter;
- Your curriculum vitae;
- A sample of your research achievements (e.g.: recent scientific articles).
