hela Sverige The Department of Chemical Engineering and Geosciences has approx. 100 employees that work in teaching, research and post-graduate education. The department conducts research in the fields of geophysics, chemistry, biochemistry and chemical process engineering, chemical technology, ore geology, mineral processing, process metallurgy and applied geology. Research is as well applied as fundamental and is financed by industry, foundations, research councils and the European Union.
Mineral processing is responsible for mechanical process technology and mineral processing education for the civilingenjör programmes in natural resources engineering and sustainable process engineering, and international master programmes as minerals & metallurgical engineering.
An important research topic in mineral processing is the analysis of mineral processes (comprising unit operations as comminution, physical particle separation processes, agglomeration etc.) by using process modeling and numerical simulation techniques. A current focus in this area is on model development and applications based on computational physics.
Description of the subject
Mineral processing with emphasis on process analysis by process modeling and numerical simulation based on computational physics.
Tasks
The responsibilities of the position comprise the development, planning and management of research in the subject described above. In particular the following tasks are assigned:
Model development based on computational physics for different types of unit operations in mineral processing
Planning, conducting and evaluation of experimental tests with particulate solids aiming on model verification and validation
Model application within the analysis and optimization of mineral processes
Supervision of doctoral students, post docs and researchers in the numerical parts of their research
The position also requires the ability to cooperate within the university and with national and international research environments, to work actively for external research funding, and to generally contribute to the division, department and university development. Teaching may not be more than 20 % of the time.
