Jobbeschreibung
The postdoctoral researcher will work on fundamental processes and methods that are relevant for engineering applications such as energy production, energy harvesting, negative carbon emission, functional building materials, and a variety of industrial processes.
Possible research areas of interest include: fundamental processes in porous materials (instabilities, mixture theory for multiphase flow systems, mechanical stability); multiscale and multiphysics modeling of complex processes; porous membrane, biofilms, and bioreactors; reactive transport and carbon negative materials; supermaterials (enhanced physicochemical properties, self-healing materials, metamaterials).
The applicants must hold a recent PhD degree, preferably in physics, mechanical engineering, materials science, chemical engineering, or related fields. The ideal candidate has previously worked in fields such as porous media science, fluid and continuum mechanics (including interface processes), physics and chemistry of membranes, and biofilms. She/he is skilled in modeling phenomena over multiple scales (e.g., molecular scales, pore scale, continuum scale, building and regional scales) and working with real data; experience in performing experiments is an asset.
We offer internationally competitive conditions, optimal computational and experimental facilities, and the opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary environment where communication and interaction to create synergies and develop novel ideas are highly valued. The position is offered for two years and is available from September 2022, or a later date upon mutual agreement.
For further information about the position please contact Dr Ivan Lunati, Head of Laboratory, and visit our websites and
We look forward to receiving your application comprising a letter of motivation, a brief statement of your research interest and ideas for the offered position (please provide it in the same PDF as the motivation letter), your curriculum vitae, a complete list of publications, and two or more references with contact details. Applications via email will not be considered.
