DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL AND BIOSYSTEMS ENGINEERING, SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY Research Assistant Positions – Bioenergy The Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering at South Dakota State University (SDSU) is seeking M.S. and PhD students. The programs will involve in biomass thermal chemical conversion and catalytic reforming. Students will develop biomass to syngas and bio-oil and thus to gasoline/diesel processes, and to investigate the effects of synthesis gas and bio-oil quality from biomass gasification and pyrolysis, Fischer-Tropsch catalysts, and the reaction conditions on hydrocarbon quality and yield. The applicants should have degree/s in agricultural, biological, chemical engineering, or related area. Previous experience in biomass gasification and pyrolysis, metal catalyst preparation and tubular reactor processing are desirable but not required. The selected candidates will collaborate with the research team members who have expertise in the fields of biomass pretreatment, fast pyrolysis, gasification, bio-oil fractionation, bio-oil fermentation, and bio-oil hydrodeoxygenation at SDSU. The research programs offer interdisciplinary research opportunities on biomass thermal chemical processing and bio-fuel upgrading. The selected graduate research assistants will be offered research assistantships with tuition and benefits based on qualification and experience. Qualified applicants are encouraged to send their resumes, copies of transcripts, GRE, TOEFL (for international candidates only), and three current references with an application letter to the address below or apply online at http://www3.sdstate.edu/StudentLife/InternationalStudentAffairs/. If any question, please contact Dr. Lin Wei via e-mail at: lin.wei@sdstate.edu . These positions will remain open until the suitable candidates are found.
