Postdoc position in Microfluidics open
We are pleased to announce an opening 3-years position for a postdoctoral researcher to join the HetCatFlow project. The successful candidate will work on the implementation of a new method to perform heterogeneous catalysis in continuous flow reactors by using flow reactors that do not have solid walls, but instead, have liquid walls due to magnetic confinement of an immiscible magnetic (ferro)fluid.
We seek highly motivated and autonomous person with a PhD Degree in Chemical engineering, Materials Science, Applied Physics, or related fields, and with a solid background in flow chemistry and hands-on experience in lab-scale prototyping.
See contact for instructions on preparing a good application and send your cover letter highlighting their interest in the position, your CV (including publications list), a short description of previous research (1-2 Pages), and the name and contact address (email) of two former principal investigators.
The key work on this research line was published in:
A.A.Dev, P.Dunne, T.M.Hermans, B.Doudin*, Fluid drag reduction by magnetic confinement, Langmuir 2022, 38, 2, 719–726.

- A good level of spoken and written English.
- Will be highly evaluated: knowledge in characterization techniques and previous experience in researching.
Please reach out as soon as possible! You will enroll in a 4 year PhD program at the Autonomous University of Madrid, but will work full time at IMDEA Nanociencia.
All applications must be sent to hlab.nanociencia@imdea.org, and must include: your cover letter, CV and academic transcripts. Reference letters are always appreciated.
Deadline for applications: 30th September, 2024
