Application deadline: September 30, 2021

In the Science, Engineering and Technology Group of KU Leuven, Faculty of Engineering Science, Department of Chemical Engineering, Division Chemical Reactor Engineering and Safety (CREaS), there is a full-time academic vacancy in the area of Chemical Reactor Engineering: Simulation, Optimization and Process Safety on campus Arenberg. We are looking for internationally oriented candidates with an excellent research record and with educational competence within the field of Chemical Reactor Engineering. To accomplish its mission of exploiting and enhancing (bio)chemical reactor processes and process safety, CREaS integrates expertise, methodologies and techniques from different (bio)chemical reactor and process engineering domains, going from macro- and microscopic analysis of (bio)chemical processes, via modelling and design, to process optimization. The CREaS Research division is embedded within the Department of Chemical Engineering and, its campus Leuven based cohort, is housed in the Chem&Tech facility, which is a recently built high-tech centre for chemistry and chemical engineering research. Moreover, in 2021 a brand new didactical building (Quadrivium), just across, is inaugurated which hosts new didactics lab and pilot hall spaces, together with PC, seminar and breakout rooms.
