R&d Membrane Separation Processes for Liquid Streams

Il y a 3 mois


Mol, Belgique VITO Temps plein

The MESCH team at VITO develops industrially viable membrane processes for the intensification of chemical processes in industry.

Our approach allows companies to de-risk their developments by demonstration of relevant and economically viable membrane-based separation processes.

To strengthen our team of researchers and technicians (now about 25 people) we are looking for a new colleague for the execution of both bilateral and public industrial projects on membrane based liquid separations.

For this we opened a research position for a permanent contract.

This is our plan for you:

- Together with our team, you will support the execution and follow-up of industrial projects on membrane-based separation processes for the chemical industry.
- As an expert in the field, you have, maintain, and expand an active network of stakeholders in the field, like companies, other RTO’s, funding agencies, etc.
- Based on trends and needs in the outside world, you provide input for & validate our strategic roadmaps on our membrane processes and products. Based on the basic workplans, you will plan, execute, supervise and coordinate membrane tests, by designing experiments, execute these together with our technicians and do the analysis of the various test results. Reporting of the results to customers is a part of the job as well.

To be suitable for this job, we think you will need:

- a PhD in organic chemistry or in chemical oriented engineering
- a track record in and applied knowledge of membrane separation processes of liquid streams.
- enthusiasm about both experimental lab work as well about processing of data and reporting.
- team player skills
- a good eye for quality & deadlines
- a customer-oriented mind-set and a creativity to translate customer needs in product development plans.
- a strong interest in cooperation with other partners (industry, SME’s, institutes, universities)
- a good knowledge of English, both written and spoken
- to be willing to travel abroad on occasion.
- an active industrial network in the field of membrane separation for liquid streams
- a track record in participation in publicly funded projects on a national or a European level. A track record as coordinator of such projects is of course an extra asset.
- Knowledge on membrane synthesis is an asset (including polymer membranes)

Apart from the job content we offer you:

- A competitive salary package
- A team of nice colleagues, experts in their fields, who will guide, support and interact with you
- A front-row seat to witness the development of technical solutions for a sustainable world
- Access to state-of-art equipment for membrane processes
- Interesting opportunities to interact with partners in industry and academia
