Our research activities reach from fundamental chemistry, chemistry at the interface of biology and medicine, materials science, renewable energy, to chemical engineering processing, material recycling, nuclear chemistry, as well as theory and modelling. We are committed to teaching at the undergraduate, graduate, as well as postgraduate level. Academic freedom, interdisciplinary research, entrepreneurship and making societal impact, are key factors in our work. We strive to offer an environment where you can combine world leading research and teaching with a good work-life balance.
Information about the division and the project
Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden is seeking a highly qualified postdoctoral research associate to develop CFD models for design and analysis of plasma reactors and downstream process units. The research is done in close collaboration with partners at other Universities and industry partners.
The work aims at developing predictive models and understanding of mass, heat, momentum transport and chemical reactions in a novel chemical process. You will develop new models that includes the main chemical and physical phenomena in the process. The simulation results will be validated by in situ measurements from the other project partners. The position as postdoctoral research associate is for two years.
• The details of the departmental research activities may be found here.
Major responsibilities
Your major responsibility as postdoc is to perform your own research within the division of Chemical Engineering. The postdoc is expected to develop own ideas and communicate scientific results orally as well as in written form.
Qualifications
Required Minimum Qualifications:
- PhD in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Physics (or equivalent), with a focus on Computational Fluid Dynamics. The application must be supported by journal publication confirming the applicant has experience and knowledge in this field.
- A strong background in transport phenomena, turbulence, multiphase flow.
• A strong background in chemical reactions and thermodynamics.
• A demonstrated ability to do CFD simulations and analyze results (journal publications).
- Strong programming and analytical skills.
- Strong communication skills in both written and spoken English.
- Ability to prepare presentations to communicate research results and progress to the project stakeholders effectively.
- Independence and self-motivation. Have a strong commitment to work in a research group, openly sharing results, challenges, and difficulties with the other CFD experts in the group to ensure the success of the project.
Preferred Qualifications:
