Job Description

  • Requirement: PhD in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related discipline
  • Strong background in CFD (e.g. OpenFOAM)
  • Experience with multiphase flow or particle simulations
  • Interest in linking simulation with experimental process development
  • Adequate English (written and verbal communication) for scientific interactions required
  • Strong motivation is a must
  • Willingness to work at interdisciplinary boundaries

    • We are seeking an outstanding postdoctoral researcher to develop novel continuous crystallization platforms within the ERC Advanced Grant project CrystalControl. 

    The project translates fundamental insights into nucleation into advanced crystallizer concepts, enabling precise control of crystal properties and supporting the transition to continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing.

    Research Focus

  • Simulation of crystallization processes using CFD and particle-based methods (e.g. DEM)
  • De...
