Job Title/Position:
Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Process modelling, Technoeconomic assessment and Life cycle analysis)
Job Purpose/Objective of the Position:
You will be working in the Proteins4Singapore (P4S) programme, a comprehensive research programme with renowned scientists of plant and food technology, food chemistry, and business sustainability. Interdisciplinary teams will generate state-of-the-art methods and techniques to ensure a sustainable protein supply in highly urbanized environments.
The focus of research is on the evaluation of alternative protein production processes. We will establish total value assessments of protein supply chains for technologies developed from this project as well as for the major existing animal and plant-based sources of protein.

The project will be at the interface of food sciences, process modelling, TEA, LCA, and supply chain optimization.
This is a fixed term contract until March 2027.
Job Responsibilities:
  • Data collection for performing process modelling on existing and developed protein production, extraction and processing technologies in this project.
  • Performing technoeconomic and total value assessment of the processes developed in this project.
  • Evaluate different modes of protein-rich biomass (soy and microalgae) and understand the entire supply chain from food security perspective.
  • Performing LCA for evaluating the environmental footprint of different processes/process configurations and comparing them.

Job Requirements/Competencies:
  • Good understanding of process modelling, LCA and TEA.
  • At least 1 year of experience in food processing related process will be highly valued.
  • Experience in the software tools.
  • Process modelling and TEA: UniSim/SuperPro Designer/Aspen plus; LCA: Gabi (LCA for Experts)/SimaPro
  • Experience on related standards such as ISO 14040, ISO 14044, ISO 14067, GHG Protocol.
  • Strong interdisciplinary skills at the intersection of food production, sustainability, life cycle assessments, product supply chains, etc.
  • Self-motivated and quick learner who is passionate about latest trends and technologies in food production and Agri-Tech.
  • Passionate about domain of sustainability and evaluating product and processes to understand environmental and social impact.
  • Good team player, able to work with deadlines and dynamic requirements.

Qualification Requirements:
  • PhD in Engineering/Chemical Engineering/Environmental Engineering/ Industrial Engineering with strong skills in mathematical modelling, process modelling, Technoeconomic assessment and life cycle analysis from a reputable university.
  • Experience or interest in using process modelling tools and LCA tools in interdisciplinary work in the sustainability domain.
  • Strong skills in English speaking and writing, problem-solving and communication.
