- Working at the VUBFor more than 50 years, the Vrije Universiteit Brussel has stood for freedom, equality and solidarity, and this is very much alive on our campuses among students and staff alike.
innovators pur sang, but above all people who are 100% their authentic selves.
With some 4,000 employees, we are the largest Dutch-speaking employer, in the private sector, in Brussels; an international city with which we are only too happy to connect and where (around) our 4 campuses are located.
Add to this our principle of free research - in which self-reflection, a critical attitude and an open, creative mind around scientific and social issues are central - and you have a university that is fundamentally groundbreaking and pioneering in education and research.
In short:
the VUB all over again.
Moreover, the VUB is a member of EUTOPIA, an alliance of like-minded European universities, all ready to reinvent themselves.- Position descriptionThe Faculty of Engineering, Department Chemische ingenieurstechnieken en industriële scheikunde, is looking for a postdoctoral researcher with a grant.
More concretely your work package, for the validation of your doctoral research, contains:μFlow Cell is a multidisciplinary research group of the VUB that works on the upscaling of microfluidics for pharmaceutical, biotechnological or medical applications.μFlow Cell is recognized and supported by VUB as a Group of Excellence in Advanced Research (GEAR).
The group has several research lines that are further developed with the financial support of the Brussels Government via Innoviris, the Flemish Government via FWO and VLAIO, the European Union via Horizon Europe, or through direct collaborations with interested companies.
To support the activities of μFlow Cell, VUB is also building a new cleanroom (MICROLAB) for microfabrication in silicon and glass for microfluidics, which will be operational in the third quarter of 2024.
MICROLAB has a floorspace of 550 m2, of which 300 m2 will be equipped with the most advanced machines for every essential production step in microfabrication.
μFlow Cell is now looking for a postdoctoral researcher who will participate in the project 'Scalable Bulk Acoustic Wave Solutions for Manipulations of Micro- and Nanoparticles in Flow (AWESOME)'.
This project is supported by the Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) for a period of 4 years, starting 1/10/22. The project will be carried out by a multidisciplinary research team with groups from VUB, UHasselt and KU Leuven.The project will also be advised by 10 Flemish/Belgian companies aiming at applications in the production of pharmaceutical ingredients and vaccines, harvesting of bioparticles in bioreactors, advanced coatings and materials and removal of microplastics from water.
In particular, you will work on the use of acoustic waves to manipulate microparticles in flow, and during your activities seek new ways to manipulate smaller particles and in higher throughput than what is currently possible, so that the technique can be applied on industrial scale.
As a postdoctoral researcher, you will at least be responsible for the following tasks:- Design and fabrication of microfluidic chips in silicon, glass and polymers.
- Design and construction of new experimental setups in which the chips can be tested.
- Design, conduct, analyse and report experiments.

The following additional technical/functional knowledge is appreciated.- Knowledge and hands-on experience of microfluidics is a must.
- Expertise and hands-on experience in microfabrication of silicon, glass, and polymers.
- Familiarity with lab and cleanroom environment is a plus.

- Strong in scientific analysis and reporting.
- Working with high self-imposed standards for quality and accuracy.
- Able to work both autonomously and in a team.
- Strong in multi-tasking.
- Willing to occasionally work overtime to meet specific deadlines. You stayed abroad for at least 12 months of the 3 years preceding the start date, and during this period you did not work or study in Belgium. However, during these 12 months, short-term stays in Belgium are allowed such as holidays, participation in conferences or a short stay to prepare your stay as a postdoctoral researcher.
