We are looking for an Assistant Professor who can strengthen our position in the field of the rheology of hybrid (and supramolecular) materials with remarkable properties. A major objective is to develop structure-property relations by combined rheology and microscopy studies and to use this information to design and tailor the mechanical and other relevant properties of these materials. This knowledge will close the way towards the design of smart materials (e.g. rubber composites, self-healing materials) for a wide range of industrially relevant applications to meet current societal challenges (e.g. design for recycling).
As an Assistant Professor, you will:
● set up and develop your own research line and research group
● supervise PhD students
● acquire external funding
● promote the societal relevance of your research
● teach in and contribute to the development of the degree programme Mechanical engineering and to the degree programmes Chemical engineering
● contribute to the organisation of the faculty, for example by participating in working groups and committees, in the domains of teaching, research and management.
At the stage of Assistant Professor, 60% of your time is for research, 30% for teaching activities and 10% for organisational tasks.
We encourage you to apply if you have:
● a PhD degree in mechanical or chemical engineering or a related field; experience with polymeric products and multiphasic systems is highly desirable
● at least two years of postdoctoral experience outside of the Netherlands, preferably in a different country than where you received your PhD, and a relevant international network
● excellent research qualities, as shown by a publication record in international peer-reviewed journals and proceedings of renowned conferences
● a good track record in teaching, appropriate to your career stage
● demonstrable organisational competences
● cross-cultural sensitivity
● good command of spoken and written English.
And you are:
● a team player with good communication skills
● able to acquire substantial research grants from external sources
● willing to obtain a University Teaching Qualification (Dutch: BKO) within three years
● able to speak the Dutch language or motivated to speak it within five years.
