Postdoc Experimental Fluid Dynamics of Microalgae Suspensions

2 maanden geleden


Delft, Zuid-Holland, Nederland Delft University of Technology Voltijd
Job description

Are you interested in new problems at the interface between fluid dynamics and biology? Are you excited about hands-on experimental work in a multidisciplinary environment? We are looking for two enthusiastic Post Doc candidates to develop new experiments to track microbial life in flows.

Photosynthetic microalgae hold promise for the sustainable production of high-value products, bioplastics, biofuels, and future engineering living materials. Flowing suspensions of living microalgae cells represent a new kind of living fluid that physiologically responds to the environment and flow conditions. New insight into the flow dynamics of these living microalgae suspensions is crucial to model algae blooms or develop new flow technologies for bioreactors.

The postdoc position is available within the project "Flow4Algae". This experimental project aims to understand the multiscale fluid dynamics of living microalgae suspensions. We are particularly interested in the interplay between flow conditions, cell physiology, and cell growth. Each different project will focus on flow conditions ranging from linear shear flows in microfluidics to weak turbulence. In this project, you will design new multiscale experiments and analytical tools for the different flow regimes. These studies will be conducted in the BioFluids Laboratory in TU Delft and will use the infrastructure in the laboratory, including advanced flow diagnostics (Particle Image Velocimetry, Particle Tracking Velocimetry, and Laser Induced Fluorescence), microscopy (3D tracking multi-view microscopy and Fluorescence), rheology tools, microfluidics, and existing flow dynamics setups.

As a postdoc, you will be part of a vibrant team of researchers working on the project Flow4Algae, with diverse backgrounds and expertise. The group is part of the Process & Energy Department, which thrives to conduct world-class research & education focusing on process & energy technologies for sustainable development.

Requirements

We are looking for enthusiastic and inquisitive researchers who want to develop their know-how and experience in a challenging academic environment. The successful candidate should have:

  • A PhD degree in a relevant field (Mechanical Engineering, Biophysics, Applied Physics, Bio process technology).
  • Must have demonstrated competencies in one or more of these categories: Fluid mechanics, Active/Bio fluids, Experimental Flow diagnostics, Microfluidics, micro algae research.
  • Well organized and excellent time management skills.
  • Excellent command of English and communication skills.
  • An affinity with teaching and guiding PhD and MSc students.
  • A proven record and interest in further developing your experimental, modelling, programming, analytical and scientific writing skills.
  • The ability to work in a team, take the initiative and be results-oriented.

    Conditions of employment
    Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.
    For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service. This service provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service offers a Dual Career Programme for partners and they organise events to expand your (social) network.
    From 1 September next, a salary increase of 3.7% applies due to a Collective Agreement amendment, followed by an additional 1% increase on 1 January 2025. In addition, most employees employed on 1 September 2024 will receive a one-off payment of €300 gross based on full-time employment.
    TU Delft (Delft University of Technology)
    Delft University of Technology is built on strong foundations. As creators of the world-famous Dutch waterworks and pioneers in biotech, TU Delft is a top international university combining science, engineering and design. It delivers world class results in education, research and innovation to address challenges in the areas of energy, climate, mobility, health and digital society. For generations, our engineers have proven to be entrepreneurial problem-solvers, both in business and in a social context.
    At TU Delft we embrace diversity as one of our core values and we actively engage to be a university where you feel at home and can flourish. We value different perspectives and qualities. We believe this makes our work more innovative, the TU Delft community more vibrant and the world more just. Together, we imagine, invent and create solutions using technology to have a positive impact on a global scale. That is why we invite you to apply. Your application will receive fair consideration.
    Challenge. Change. Impact
    Faculty Mechanical Engineering
    From chip to ship. From machine to human being. From idea to solution. Driven by a deep-rooted desire to understand our environment and discover its underlying mechanisms, research and education at the ME faculty focusses on fundamental understanding, design, production including application and product improvement, materials, processes and (mechanical) systems.
    ME is a dynamic and innovative faculty with high-tech lab facilities and international reach. It's a large faculty but also versatile, so we can often make unique connections by combining different disciplines. This is reflected in ME's outstanding, state-of-the-art education, which trains students to become responsible and socially engaged engineers and scientists. We translate our knowledge and insights into solutions to societal issues, contributing to a sustainable society and to the development of prosperity and well-being. That is what unites us in pioneering research, inspiring education and (inter)national cooperation.
