Posted by Memorial University of Newfoundland on CareerBeacon. This is a contractual position to March 31, 2028 with the possibility of extension. The University will consider applications from qualified permanent staff for a potential secondment, subject to departmental approval. This position is funded through an external grant.

The Hibernia and Hebron R&D initiative encompasses a new portfolio of projects in areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Additive Manufacturing, Sustainability, and Subsurface Prediction. One project, the Atlantic Canada BioChar project, aims to develop waste biomass-based adsorbents (biochar) to capture carbon from point sources (engine stacks, vents, etc.) and then use the carbon-loaded biochars to replace non-renewable components in construction materials. The strategy is a cradle-to-cradle approach in greenhouse gas management, where the waste from one industry is used to treat another 9s waste and then stored in a useful, carbon-fixed product.
