Join Our Team as a PhD Researcher in Membrane Separations

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled PhD researcher to join our team at Forschungszentrum Jülich. As a PhD researcher, you will be part of an interdisciplinary collaboration on projects in an international, committed, and collegial team.

About the Project

This EU-funded project is part of the international training network Bio-GENTLE, which will connect professionals of various backgrounds from academics and industry. A unique interdisciplinary approach combines fundamental analysis, experimentation, and mathematical modeling to create a flexible bio-separation platform.

Your Tasks
  • Familiarize with reduced-order modeling of membrane-based filtration and chromatography processes and CADET simulation software.
  • Acquire knowledge about novel membrane materials and perform experiments required for model calibration.
  • Establish multi-scale model family and extend CADET software for simulating membrane-based filtration and chromatography processes.
  • Design separation processes for selected antibodies and small particles. Apply and optimize ultrafiltration to reach final concentration goals.
  • Perform validation experiments and refine models if required. Combine modeling and real-time simulation with data from on-line sensors for process actuation.
Your Profile
  • Masters degree in science or engineering.
  • Expertise in downstream processing.
  • Programming skills, preferably in Python and/or C++.
  • Knowledge in parameter estimation and optimization.
  • A self-motivated and independent style of working.
  • Not in possession of a doctoral degree.
  • Not resided, worked, or studied in Germany for more than 12 months in the last 36 months (mobility rule).
Our Offer

We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the opportunity to actively help in shaping change. You will learn:

  • In-depth understanding of membrane separations and their operating modes and effects.
  • Integration of membrane separation models into process simulation software.
  • Parameter estimation and optimization techniques for model calibration.
  • Independent research skills and problem-solving in the context of membrane separations.
  • Best practices of research software engineering, including version control, documentation, testing, code review, and software sustainability.

We support you with:

  • An interesting and socially relevant topic for your thesis with future-oriented topics.
  • An interdisciplinary collaboration on projects in an international, committed, and collegial team.
  • Excellent technical equipment and the newest technology.
  • Qualified support through your scientific colleagues.
  • The chance to independently prepare and work on your tasks.
  • A large research campus with green spaces, offering the best possible means for networking with colleagues and pursuing sports alongside work.
  • Opportunity to develop your strengths, through a comprehensive training program; a structured program including continuing professional development and networking opportunities specifically designed for Jülich's doctoral researchers by the Jülich Center for Doctoral Researchers and Supervisors (JuDocS).
  • Targeted services for international employees, through our International Advisory Service.
  • Initial contract for 3 years.

We welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds, in terms of age, gender, disability, sexual orientation/identity, and social, ethnic, and religious origin. A diverse and inclusive working environment with equal opportunities in which everyone can realize their potential is important to us.
