Mol, Flandre, Belgique VITO Temps plein
As a Flemish, internationally recognized research centre, VITO aims to accelerate the transition to a sustainable world. The
MESCH team at VITO develops industrially viable membrane processes for the intensification of chemical processes in industry.


Our recently developed technology consists of designing novel hybrid materials derived from the union of polymer and ceramic substances bearing well-designed and useful functionalities, for use as smart, target-oriented membranes in industrially relevant liquid-based separations.

The resulting
hybrid membranes combine the best of two worlds:
the superior overall properties of ceramics and the tunable surface properties offered by the polymer layer.

With this goal in mind, we are currently aiming to bring this technology to maturity in collaboration with recent VITO spin-off membrane company.


To strengthen our team of researchers and technicians (now about 20 people) we are looking for a new colleague for
the execution of projects on hybrid membrane development in close collaboration with a Flemish start-up company.

For this we opened a
post-doc position for a
1-year contract, potentially extendable to 2 years.

This is our plan for you:

  • Together with our team, you will
    support the execution and follow-up of projects on hybrid membrane development, characterization and testing with model liquid streams if needed.
  • Based on the basic workplans, you will
    plan, execute, supervise and coordinate membrane developments, by designing experiments, execute these and then perform the analysis of the various test results.
    Reporting of the results is also a part of the job.
  • A
    PhD in organic chemistry, polymer chemistry or in chemical oriented engineering
  • A track record of
    applied knowledge on inorganic surfaceinitiated polymerization or any related polymerization with substantial synthesis and characterization skills.
  • Ideally, an applied knowledge of membrane separation processes of liquid streams.
  • Ideally, a good knowledge of inorganic material characterization.
  • Enthusiasm about both experimental lab work as well about processing of data and reporting

Teamplayer skills

  • A strong interest in cooperation with other partners (industry, SME's, institutes, universities)
  • A good knowledge of
    English, both written and spoken

Offer

  • A competitive salary package
  • A team of nice colleagues, experts in their fields, who will guide, support and interact with you
  • A frontrow seat to witness the development of technical solutions for a sustainable world
  • Interesting opportunities to interact with partners in industry and academia
  • You will be part of an organization with an international reputation, known for its advanced technological research and scientific consultancy
