- The Flow Chemistry Group headed by Prof. Timothy Noel is looking for a new postdoc with chemical engineering skills to strengthen the RoboChem project, which aims to develop robotic platforms that can assist chemists in optimizing chemical reactions. This specific topic is in collaboration with a pharmaceutical company.**What are you going to do**

You are going to be part of a multidisciplinary team of chemists, chemical engineers and data engineers. Your specific role will gravitate around the chemical engineering aspectis of self-driving labs, including programming, machine learning and automation of chemical processes.**You will/tasks**:

- Programming in Python to automate the hardware (syringe pumps, reactors, liquid handlers);
- Analyzing the data generated using machine learning algorithms;
- Assembling the hardware and combining it with software (optimization algorithms) to build up the self-driving lab;
- Function in a small interdisciplinary team.

**What do we require**

A recent PhD degree in Chemical Engineering or related with strong programming and machine learning skills.**Your experience and profile**:

- PhD in chemical engineering;
- Strong communication skills;
- Team player;
- Strong problem solving skills.

**Our offer**

A temporary contract for 38 hours per week, preferably starting as soon as possible, but latest on November 1st, 2024, for the duration of 12 months.

**About us**- The Flow Chemistry Group’s mission is to expand the available chemical space by embracing technology to the fullest extent. The aim of the Flow Chemistry group (a.k.a. the Noël Research Group) is to build bridges between chemical engineering and organic synthetic chemistry. Consequently, long-standing problems in synthetic chemistry can be overcome, which includes scalability, gas-liquid reactions, photochemistry, electrochemistry and the generation and use of hazardous reagents. This allows us to effectively expand the available chemical space by bringing overlooked or avoided reagents into play.-
- The Faculty of Science has a student body of around 8,000, as well as 1,800 members of staff working in education, research or support services. Researchers and students at the Faculty of Science are fascinated by every aspect of how the world works, be it elementary particles, the birth of the universe or the functioning of the brain.- To work at the University of Amsterdam is to work in a discerning, independent, creative, innovative and international climate characterized by an open atmosphere and a genuine engagement with the city of Amsterdam and society.
