Job Description

  • Requirement: MSc in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science, or related discipline with strong overall marks
  • Knowledge of flow chemistry and crystallization will be regarded as a plus
  • Adequate English (written and verbal communication) for scientific interactions required
  • Strong motivation is a must
  • Willingness to work at interdisciplinary boundaries

    • We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to investigate primary nucleation mechanisms under defined flow conditions within the ERC Advanced Grant project CrystalControl. 

    The project explores how fluid flow patterns and shear fields influence nucleation kinetics and polymorphism, addressing a central challenge in pharmaceutical manufacturing where crystal properties determine product performance.

    Research Focus

  • Experimental study of nucleation under controlled shear fields and flow patterns
  • Operation and development of microreactors and continuous ...
