(ref. BAP-2023-185)
Laatst aangepast : 10/07/2023
The Postdoctoral fellow position is open within the Group of Smart Responsive Separation with Hybrid Processes at KU Leuven under the supervision of Prof. dr. Xing Yang. We also form part of the larger Process Engineering for Sustainable Systems (ProcESS) group at the Department of Chemical Engineering with expertise in process intensification, multiphase microfluidics, use of alternative energy sources and membrane technology. The Yang Research Group focuses on process intensification strategies for designing low-emission and energy efficient separation systems utilizing smart responsive materials with nano/micro-structured interfaces, reactive kinetics and optimal separation units. The hybridisation of separation technologies (e.g., membrane, extraction, crystallization, absorption and chromatography) is the key tool to design an Energy-Efficient Separation Systems for Sustainability (2E3S), assisted with experimental research and process system engineering via multi-scale numerical modeling.
Functie
The postdoctoral fellow will be undertake novel simulation work to understand the transport phenomena in membrane devices, where the driving forces could be pressure, temperature, electrical field, etc. The position requires solid background in computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation and membrane separation technology. You may also have the opportunity to interact with strategic research partners from chemical and pharmaceutical industry. Profiel
If you are highly motivated researchers in the areas of Chemical Engineering with passion in resource recovery and sustainability, you are strongly encouraged to enquire and apply.
Profile required:
- Requirement: PhD degree in Chemical Engineering or in equivalent discipline with competitive publication record, with specialty in membrane technology.
- Knowledge and experiences in the relevant fields as described.
- Willingness and experiences with postgraduate supervision and teaching.
- Fluent English (written and verbal communication) for scientific interactions.
- Self-motivated, passionate and great interpersonal skills.
- Willingness to work at interdisciplinary boundaries.
Aanbod
The successful candidate will be offered a Postdoctoral fellow position to become part of our international team with global research connections. The initial postdoctoral contract is provided for one year with a perspective to extend. The salary package is based on the KU Leuven standards linked to your post PhD experience.
