Beschreibung
Job description
The nature of the work is mainly experimental. However, simulation models shall be developed to assist the optimization of the separation technology. Moreover, for the integrated system process simulations using AspenPlus, AVEVA or Matlab/Simulink shall be developed in order to optimize the operation and to provide data for an assessment of the techno-economic performance of the solar hydrogen production process.
Your Tasks will comprise
Beside the scientific work, you have the opportunity to do a doctorate.
Starting date
Personal qualification
You should hold a Masters in Chemical, Process, Environmental Engineering, or equivalent, coupled with a passion for research. Experience in process engineering (separation system development) is a definite advantage, as well as sound experimental problem solving. Excellent English language proficiency is essential.
