Plastics Recycling

The Sustainable Materials Research Center (SusMaT-RC) at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P), in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), is recruiting Postdoctoral Fellows to join international research projects under the supervision of Professor Youssef Habibi.

Their research project’s focus is to develop innovative recycling technologies for plastics waste through sustainable physical and/or chemical pathways.

Key duties:

The successful candidate is expected to:

The Department of Chemical and Process Engineering (CPE) within the Faculty of Engineering is seeking to recruit a Research Associate to carry out theoretical modelling work to explore decarbonisation technologies including biomass valorisation, CO2 conversion, waste plastic recycling, etc. This position is one of the three PDRA positions to be recruited for one UKRI funded project with an overall aim at reshaping a fossil-free feedstock carbon supply to accelerate net-zero.

The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) promotes a resource-efficient recycling economy and the development of methods for plastic recycling (https://is.gd/Qhioyh).
Within this scope, BasCat - UniCat BASF JointLab investigates catalytic hydrogenation of plastic waste to enable a circular plastic economy. This project aims at the efficient use of green hydrogen for turning mixed plastic waste into a raw material for the chemical industry.
