PhD position – OMD group
PhD position – doctoral researcher (m/f/d) OMD group
The research topic is dedicated to our recent activities in magnetic waste water cleaning from Micro-/Nanoplastics with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs – called “smart rust” https://omd.fau.de/home/).
Focus of the research is the development and evaluation of a magnetic separation process on lab-scale to later transfer to a technical demonstrator. That will include tool design and test, optimization and process evaluation by cleaning real water samples.
A background in materials science and/or chemical engineering and skills in fluid dynamics, nanoparticles and/or environmental technology is of advantage.
We are searching for a highly motivated person, with emphasis in engineering, nanotechnology and environmental science. The ability for teamwork in an international interdisciplinary group and the independent collaboration with partners (university and industry) is strongly required. The competitive salary is related to TVöD (75%).
Interested candidates (m/f/d) are invited to send a letter of application, curriculum vitae, certificate (copy) of examinations, short description of scientific/work experiences and the names and contact information of two references to: marcus.halik@fau.de
