Are you an accomplished researcher seeking to make a meaningful contribution to the reduction of global CO₂ emissions? Our member VITO is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher with expertise in optimising cyclic gas adsorption-based processes through computational modeling.
Key Responsibilities:
Contribute to climate change mitigation by developing a more efficient technology for capturing CO₂ emissions from industrial flue gases.
Optimise temperature-vacuum swing adsorption process cycles.
Support the development of new structured sorbents through computational simulation and experimental sorption testing at lab- and pilot-scale.
Collaborate on (inter)national research projects with industrial and academic partners.
Deliver high-quality scientific results in accordance with project timelines.
Publish research findings in high-impact scientific publications and present results at relevant conferences.
Qualifications:
PhD degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Bioscience Engineering, or related fields.
Profound knowledge of chemical engineering fundamentals, including fluid flow, heat & mass transfer, and kinetics, as well as gas adsorption phenomena.
Demonstrated expertise in process modeling and simulation tools for cyclic gas adsorption processes (e.g., ASPEN, Matlab, gPROMS, Python).
VITO is offering:
Competitive salary package with allowances, insurances, and a modular vacation package.
A collaborative work environment with a team of renowned experts in their respective fields.
Opportunities for ongoing professional development and training to stay at the forefront of your expertise.
Be part of an organisation with a global reputation for cutting-edge technological research and scientific consultancy.
If you are driven by the imperative to mitigate climate change and possess the requisite skills and knowledge, apply here.
Application deadline: 31st of September 2023.
