[交流] 2 PHD POSITION(找学校时发现的,与君共享)

De uitdaging / The challenge

This vacancy will be promoted at the PhD Workshop Beijing


Transport phenomena are crucial for many chemical, pharmaceutical and biochemical processes. Many membrane-based processes suffer from transport limitations near the permeable boundary. We aim at studying these phenomena on a microscopic scale, using experimental techniques including micro particle imaging velocimetry, and fluorescence microscopy.
The projects are part of the ERC Starting Grant of Prof. Lammertink and aim at studying transport phenomena within microfluidic platforms to better understand the influence of small-scale effects. Two PhD vacancies are available, both relating to transport phenomena near a membrane boundary:
Biofouling. Bacteria growth in water treatment systems is a prominent challenge still. The proposed research will focus on the detailed fluid flow analysis and mass transport of nutrients and oxygen with respect to biofilm attachment and growth in predefined geometries.
Electrodialysis. Ion selective membranes are employed through which ions are transport by an externally applied electric field. Electrodialysis is applied in e.g. water desalination and salt production processes. Under extreme concentration polarization conditions, electroconvection processes appear. The objective is to study these processes and their response to confinement and heterogeneity.
               

Ons aanbod / Our offer
The research will be carried out in the group Soft matter, Fluidics and Interfaces (SFI) of Prof. Rob G.H. Lammertink at the University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands. The group is hosted within the Mesa+ institute for nanotechnology, with full access to the Nanolab cleanroom facilities. We offer a contract for a full position (1 FTE, 38 working hours per week) for four years. Your monthly salary develops from 2042 ? gross in the first year to 2612 ? gross in the last year. Furthermore, we offer a holiday allowance of 8%, an end-of-year bonus of 8.3% and a number of additional benefits.
               

Uw profiel / Your profile
You have a Masters degree in chemical engineering, applied physics, or other related discipline, with interest in (micro)fluidics and transport phenomena. The projects have a strong experimental approach, but requires connection with theory as well. Affinity for (CFD based) modeling is preferred. You have good command of English, both verbal and written.
Seen the interdisciplinary nature of the projects, the candidate is foreseen to interact with other researchers closely. This requires good communicative skills, enthusiasms, and project ownership.
               

De organisatie / The organisation
The University of Twente. We stand for life sciences and technology. High tech and human touch. Education and research that matter. New technology which drives change, innovation and progress in society. The University of Twente is the only campus university in the Netherlands; divided over six faculties we provide more than fifty educational programmes. The University of Twente has a strong focus on personal development and talented researchers are given scope for carrying out pioneering research.

Within the TNW Faculty (Faculty of Science & Technology) of the University of Twente some 700 staff members and more than 1100 students are involved in training and research on the interface of chemical technology, applied physics and biomedical technology. Fields of application include sustainable energy, process technology and materials science, nanotechnology and technical medicine. Research, which enjoys a high profile both at home and internationally, has been accommodated in the multidisciplinary research institutes IMPACT, MESA+ and MIRA. The faculty works together intensively with industrial partners and researchers in the Netherlands and abroad and conducts extensive research for external commissioning parties and funders
