Braunschweig, Deutschland Technische Universität Braunschweig Vollzeit

**Institut für Chemische und Thermische Verfahrenstechnik (ICTV)**

With more than 16,000 students and 3,800 employees, the Technische Universität Braunschweig is one of Germany´s leading institutes of technology. It stands for strategic and performance-oriented thinking and acting, relevant research, committed teaching, and the successful transfer of knowledge and technologies to the economy and society. We consistently advocate for family friendliness and equal opportunities.

Our research focuses are mobility, engineering for health, metrology, and city of the future. Strong engineering and natural sciences are our core disciplines. These are closely interconnected with economics, social and educational sciences and humanities. Our campus is located in the midst of one of the most research-intensive regions in Europe. We work successfully together with over 20 research institutions in our neighborhood as we do with our international partner universities.

Starting from the earliest possible date the Institute for Chemical and Thermal Process Engineering is looking for a

**(EG 13 TV-L, full-time)**

The position is to be filled on a fixed-term basis for an initial period of two years with the possibility of extension. The successful applicant will be given the opportunity to pursue a doctorate or for further scientific qualification.

The "Fouling and Cleaning" team is now looking for a research associate to work on a research project, which aims at a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that lead to the formation of deposits on the reactor walls as well as heat transfer surfaces during emulsion polymerization. A comprehensive time-resolved characterization of all processes in the bulk and at the surface combined with the correlation of these processes with each other shall provide a comprehensive view on all mechanisms contributing to the deposit formation. Therefore, the initial phase of the deposit formation shall be tracked in-situ by two complementary measures: firstly, a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) integrated within a flow channel which is in parallel with the reactor, and secondly, a heated finger that can be withdrawn vertically from the reactor in a stepwise manner. With regard to the materials, a focus shall be on polyacrylates and polyvinyl acetate. The project aims to break new ground in terms of both a description of fouling mechanisms and quantitative modelling.

**Your tasks**
- You will carry out research for the description of the fouling process during polymerization and will be in mutual exchange with an academic partner.
- You will design and operate test facilities and use analysis techniques to generate a database for modelling the overall system.
- You will implement the developed models into a holistic deposition model
- You will be involved in teaching at the University (preparation and implementation of courses as well as supervision of students’ work).

**Your Qualifications**
- You have a university degree (Master's degree or equivalent) in the fields of process engineering, bio/chemical engineering or chemistry.
- You have practical experience in the design, construction and operation of laboratory facilities as well as in the planning, execution and evaluation of experiments
- You have the highest level of social skills, teamwork and communication skills
- You have very good knowledge of the English (and German) language.
- You enjoy scientific work and are aiming for a doctorate or for further scientific qualification.

**We offer**
- Responsible work on exciting future-oriented research topics in an inspiring work environment as part of the university community
- A wide range of tasks with room for personal development
- An excellent research infrastructure with its own test facilities and extensive analytical tools
- Pay in accordance with the collective agreement TV-L including 30 days' vacation per year
- Flexible working and part-time options and a family-friendly university culture
