What are you going to do

?

You will do research in network modelling based on graph theory and population balances, mathematical tools describing changes of molecules on a coarse-grained level. The Random Graph approach is further developed to further increase the capability to account for topological features determining the change of molecular mobility responsible for decrease of reaction rates.


Tasks and responsibilities: 

• Perform research in modelling of polymer networks;
• Publish findings;
• Attend and present at conferences;
• Collaborate in multidisciplinary team of all PRONTO-partners;
• Communicate research results with the non-academic partners of the project (2x per year);
• Provide assistance with teaching at HIMS.


Requirements


Your experience and profile:

• A recent MSc degree in Chemical engineering, Physics, Scientific Computing or Applied Mathematics (familiarity with Statistical Physics or Soft Matter is an advantage);
• A strong background in chemistry, physics or computational science;
• Affinity and/or experience with continuum modelling with kinetic modeling, Random Graph modeling, and partial differential equations (PDEs) is preferred;
• Affinity and/or experience with molecular simulations is preferred;
• Good programming skills preferred;
• Good communication skills in oral and written English; 
• Strong initiative and good time management skills; 
• Interest in collaborating with students PhDs and postdoctoral researchers in related projects and research groups within and outside the Netherlands.

Our offer

A temporary contract for 38 hours per week for the duration of 4 years (the initial contract will be for a period of 18 months and after satisfactory evaluation it will be extended for a total duration of 4 years). The preferred starting date is a soon as possible. This should lead to a dissertation (PhD thesis). We will draft an educational plan that includes attendance of courses and (international) meetings. We also expect you to assist in teaching undergraduates and master students.

The gross monthly salary, based on 38 hours per week and dependent on relevant experience, ranges between €2, - €3,. This does not include 8% holiday allowance and 8,3% year-end allowance. is applicable.

Besides the salary and a vibrant and challenging environment at Science Park we offer you multiple fringe benefits:
• holiday hours per year (based on fulltime) and extra holidays between Christmas and 1 January;
• multiple courses to follow from our Teaching and Learning Centre;
• a complete educational program for PhD students;
• multiple courses on topics such as time management, handling stress and an online learning platform with + different courses;
• 7 weeks birth leave (partner leave) with % salary;
• partly paid parental leave;
• the possibility to set up a workplace at home;
• a pension at ABP for which UvA pays two third part of the contribution;
• the possibility to follow courses to learn Dutch.
