**Project Overview**
Thermochemical heat transformers (TCHTs) are pivotal in capturing and converting low-grade waste heat into usable energy, significantly improving industrial energy efficiency. The core of this technology lies in the reactor, where a solid-gas reaction occurs. This project aims to design and develop a continuous reactor decoupled from the storage.
**Your Role**
In this dynamic, cross-disciplinary project, you will:
- Design and develop experimental apparatus and methodologies to investigate solid-gas reactions in a thermochemical heat transformer.
- Focus on optimizing the heat and mass transfer within the reactor to enhance the performance of the TCHT system.
- Collaborate closely with academic and industrial partners to translate your research findings into practical solutions.
During these two years you follow a tailor made post-master design program with a combination of education (50%) and working on a design project (50%). Additionally, the UT provides excellent facilities for professional and personal development, a holiday allowance and an end-of-year bonus. On successfully completing the programme, you will receive a certified and recognized degree. You will be entitled to use the academic degree EngD and will be registered as a Technological Designer in the Dutch register kept by the Royal Institution of Engineers in the Netherlands (KIVI).
**Your profile**:
- **Educational Background**: Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Applied Physics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
- **Experimental Expertise**: Proven experience in experimentation, with a focus on heat and mass transfer, and solid-gas reactor design.
- **Technical Skills**: A strong foundation in heat and mass transfer is essential. Expertise in reaction engineering and hands-on experience in designing experimental setups and developing test methods are highly desirable
- **Analytical Abilities**: Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.
- **Communication**: Excellent written and spoken English skills, with a track record of writing technical reports or scientific papers.
**Our offer**:
- We offer you a contract for 24 months;
- Gross monthly salary of € 2.872,-;
- Holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary, and end of year bonus (8.3%);
- Minimum of 29 holidays per year in case of fulltime employment.
- 29 holidays per year in case of full-time employment;
- A green campus with free access to sports facilities and an international scientific community;
- Employee status at the UT, including pension and health care benefits. UT is an equal opportunities employer.
To apply, please submit:
- A cover letter detailing your motivation for this position.
- An up-to-date CV with academic and research achievements.
- Transcript of records for both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees.
