Acedmic job for Assistant Professor

Applied Sciences
The Faculty of Applied Sciences is the largest faculty of TU Delft, with around 550 scientists, a support staff of 250 and 1,400 students. The faculty conducts fundamental, application-oriented research and offers scientific education at the bachelor, master and doctoral levels. The faculty is active in the fields of Life and Health Science & Technology, Nanoscience, Chemical Engineering, Radiation Science & Technology, and Applied Physics.

The Catalysis Engineering Section, a participant in the national research schools for catalysis (NIOK) and process technology (OSPT) and the prestigious top school NRSC Catalysis, focuses on novel concepts in the application of catalysis. CE's international hallmark is its integral, multidisciplinary approach in multi-phase and multi-functional operations, through the application of structured materials, leading to a rational design of and precision in catalytic processes, marrying catalysis with engineering. Research activities range from fundamental to applied on themes addressing socio-economic issues and industrial topics (energy, sustainability, renewables, environment, process intensification). We would like to complement our team with a Chemical Engineer or Physicist interested in the characterization of functional materials "at work" by applying operando techniques in combination with molecular computational methods.

Job description
We expect the successful candidate to establish a research programme of international repute and, as principal investigator, act as thesis advisor to PhD students. In the area of education, the candidate will supervise students at the graduate and undergraduate levels and provide effective, engaging teaching at the BSc and MSc levels on topics such as catalysis, process technology and reactor engineering. The candidate is expected to master Dutch within a reasonable period.

Requirements
You are a young original, innovative researcher holding a PhD in the field of chemical reaction engineering or a related area with a focus on catalysis. You have an excellent research track record. A few years of post-doctoral experience in a high-level catalysis and/or engineering group in industry or academia is preferred. You are able to align your personal ambition with being a player in a team of first-rate colleagues with complementary skills.
