Postdoctoral fellow on Multi-scale modeling for Rational Membrane Design

Il y a 3 mois


Leuven, Belgique KU Leuven Temps plein

If you are highly motivated researchers in the areas of Chemical Engineering with passion in model-assisted membrane and membrane process design, 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.

The postdoctoral fellow will be undertake multi-scale modeling work towards rational design of filtration membranes, including the use of both molecular dynamic simulation to understand complex transport phenomena and the use of machine learning (ML) tools to correlate membrane fabrication parameters and performance index. This role will support the development of novel membranes in several applications such UF/MF, electrodialysis and adsorptive membrane processes for various applications. The position requires solid background in mathematical modeling, membrane technology, transport phenomena, and basic knowledge on polymer processing.

Profiles with experiences on multi-scale modeling for understanding surface - structure - performance relationship through semi-permeable membranes will be prioritized. 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.

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.
