PhD Position in Chemical Recycling of Aromatic Polyamides

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our research team at the University of Twente. The successful candidate will work on the development and optimization of a novel chemical recycling process for aromatic polyamides.

About the Project

The PhD project is part of the Amazing project, a collaborative effort between the University of Twente, ISPT, and four industrial partners. The goal of the project is to build a pilot plant for the chemical recycling of aromatic polyamide fibres.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and optimize the reaction step using hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) for the cleavage of polyamides into their monomeric building blocks
  • Design the downstream system by determining the thermodynamic data of the downstream unit operations such as distillation, extraction, and crystallisation
  • Model and simulate the process design using Aspen Plus or equivalent tools
  • Perform a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the recycling process
Requirements
  • Master's degree in Chemical Engineering with a solid background in reaction engineering, chemical processes, and separation technologies
  • High degree of responsibility and independence, with excellent collaboration and communication skills
  • Experience with experimental laboratory systems and modelling and simulation of chemical processes
  • Fluency in English and good communication skills
What We Offer
  • Full-time PhD position for 4 years
  • Dynamic ecosystem with enthusiastic colleagues in a stimulating scientific environment
  • Gross monthly PhD salary of € 2,770.- in the first year and increases to € 3,539.- in the fourth year
  • Excellent benefits, including holiday allowance, year-end bonus, pension scheme, and professional development programs
