Research/Job Area-Â Chemistry
Location-Â Department of Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry, Ghent University, Belgium
Eligibility/Qualification– The candidate should have a strong background in materials (mechanics, chemistry, chemical and mechanical characterization).
- Chemist (MSc) or equivalent degree (engineer, etc.), with strong affinity for polymers, composites and polymer processing
- Strong communication skills (English)
- Very good writing skills (English)
- Ability to rigorously design, accurately perform and analyse experiments
- Hands-on mentality
- Excellence in project management, independent reporting and article writing
- Experience with supervision of Master and/or PhD students
Job/Position Description- The post-doctoral researcher will contribute in a large research project RELFICOM ‘Reliability of fibre-reinforced composites: materials design and variability’, part of the program NANOFORCE ‘Next generation nano-engineered polymer hybrids‘, that is funded by the Flemish funding organization SIM (Strategic Initiative Materials – http://www.sim-flanders.be/).
This project addresses the reliability of fibre-reinforced composites, through improved material design and through better understanding and controlling variability. This will lead to reductions in safety factors, and hence lighter and safer composite structures. The researcher will focus on aspects of improved recyclability of composites by using/developing fibre-reinforced filaments and pellets in 3D printing and electrospinning based on recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
