Postdoc in Fundamentals of Hydration Reactions in
5 maanden geleden
**Job description**:
**Postdoc position in **_fundamentals of hydration reactions in ferrous slag and blended cement systems_**:
The position focuses on the design and carrying out of experiments on hydration reactions of slag cement systems including in-situ monitoring of reaction progress and rheological change. Using XRD time series with Rietveld quantification, isothermal calorimetry, ion-selective electrodes, conductivity, fluid phase extraction, acoustic measurements on setting and hardening. This data will be used to develope data interpretation in terms of chemical phase equilibria using and expanding appropriate software (FactSage, EQ3, PHREEQC) to develop a fundamental physical-chemical understanding of slag reactivity. Additionally assisting with the supervision of the 3 PhD students on the project is expected.
The postdoc will join the Building Materials group which consists of ~25 PhDs, 2 postdocs, 2 assistant professors, 1 associate professor, and 2 full professors. This research group works on new, sustainable, and circular building materials containing or synthesized from secondary raw materials with good chemical, physical and aesthetic properties, and added functionalities. Examples are natural fibers, fly ashes, nano-silica, aerogels, slags or recycled aggregates. Functionalities, including fire resistance, air purification, self-cleaning, high performance, and hydrophobicity, are investigated and developed for these building materials. Moreover, durability and sustainability, such as the degradation of, or leaching from, building materials when exposed to aggressive service environments, are studied. The investigations are carried out based on experimental observations and modeling.
The research group possesses a well-equipped, state-of-the-art building material laboratory for physical/chemical/mechanical/environmental treatment, testing and recycling, and has access to the structural design laboratory at the same department, and shares facilities with the sister Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry. The group has close contacts with the building material industry and frequently cooperating with other researchers, both domestic and international.
**Job requirements**:
- You should be able to work independently, have strong communication skills, the attitude to participate successfully in an international and multidisciplinary team, and the ability to teach and supervise PhD students.
- Any of the following could be considered an advantage and should be mentioned in the motivation letter:
- PhD in science or engineering (e.g. geology, materials, chemical ) with experience in thermodynamic modeling.
- Experience as post-doc, staff member, or other equivalent experience.
- Several publications and scientific communications in this field.
- Previous experience with building, or geological materials and their processing/characterization.
- Experience with relevant chemical/physical/mechanical characterization techniques (XRD, XRF, SEM, FTIR, tensile, flexural etc ).
- Affinity with (raw) materials research and laboratory experience.
- Good leadership skills shown by successful supervision of students/researchers.
- Teaching experience.
**Conditions of employment**:
A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station. In addition, we offer you:
