Manipulating Porous Matter
Position: Multicomponent adsorption & diffusion in MOFs & zeolites
We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join our team on a cutting-edge project focused on adsorptive separations such as CO2 capture using nanoporous materials such as MOFs and zeolites, with the goal of enhancing the understanding and efficiency of these processes. Specifically, the project focuses on the development of novel measurement setups and protocols to address some of the current gaps in the understanding of adsorption phenomena. The selected candidate will tackle several key challenges: multi-component adsorption experiments, adsorption kinetics and multicomponent diffusion measurements. More information can be found here.
We are looking for a motivated candidate with a strong academic track record and a PhD in Chemical Engineering, Adsorption / Materials Science, or a related field in Science and Engineering. The candidate should be passionate about adsorption processes, diffusion measurements, novel materials and technology, and willing to work as part of an interdisciplinary team assisting younger colleagues starting out in the field. Since we target real-world applications through our research, an interest in valorization (e.g., spin-off creation) is a plus. As we are a highly international team, proficiency in both written and spoken English is non-negotiable. Bonus points if you consider yourself a 'maker' and practical problem solver, we appreciate what you are doing!
Please consider applying (before 09/06) if you have several of the following skills:
Position: Feodor Lynen Research Fellowship
Thanks to the Bessel Research Award received from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in 2021, the Ameloot group can host researchers eligible for a Feodor Lynen Research Fellowship. Please get in touch if you are interested and meet the eligibility criteria:
Even though there is no deadline for applications, you should apply well in advance. The Selection Committee responsible for reviewing applications to this programme meets every February, June, and October. Applications are usually processed within four to seven months.
Apart from the posted positions, we are always on the lookout for excellent post-docs to apply for a prestigious Marie Curie fellowship together. Only experienced researchers can apply. This means you will have your doctoral degree or at least four years of full-time research experience by the time of the call deadline. Contact us well in advance to propose a topic! More info here and on the Horizon 2020 participant portal.
