Role

The ambition of the TCC is to turn post-consumer textiles, crop residues and household waste into renewable materials for use in textiles.

The role requires working in close relationships with CNAP researchers and external collaborators including partners involved in TCC. Within the research group, the candidate will contribute to general technical lab support and to the provision of guidance and training to students and other researchers.
