Join Our Research Team! Multiple Positions Available 

We are currently seeking passionate and motivated graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to join our research group. If you have a strong background in biomas chemistry, materials science, or a related field and are eager to contribute to cutting-edge research, we invite you to apply for the following positions:

1. Biomass-Based Carbon Materials for Energy Storage and Gas Adsorption

We are looking for a candidate to develop processes for biomass-derived carbon materials, conduct in-depth carbon analysis, and assess their industrial feasibility.

2. Cellulose & Lignin-Based Functional Materials for Batteries and Flame Retardants

This position involves chemical modification of cellulose and lignin and its application in battery technology and flame-retardant materials.

3. Lignin Utilization for Sustainable Aromatic Precursors (Proposed Position)

We seek a researcher to explore lignin-based sustainable aromatic precursors applicable to Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)

4. Life Cycle Assessment of Biorefinery Processes (Proposed Position)

This role focuses on evaluating the environmental impact and sustainability of our biorefinery processes through life cycle assessment (LCA).

 5. Advanced Prestreatment for Lignocellulosic Biomass (Proposed Position)

 BBC lab. is preparing to develop an advanced pretreatment processes that are not dependent on the type of biomass (Biomass-Agnostic). We are looking for candidates interested in developing eco-friendly and high-efficiency pretreatment processes such as DES-based one-pot process.

If you are interested in joining our team, feel free to contact us for more details via email at bkoo@knu.ac.kr or visit our office in person.
