Are you passionate about realizing a sustainable and competitive chemical industry? Join our highly dynamic international team at the plasmalab at Maastricht University, working in close cooperation with industry. We are looking for a motivated PhD student in advancing technology for methane valorization by plasma modelling.

 

Job Description
Waste gas valorisation remains essential in a circular future - for closing the carbon cycle via, amongst others, the recycling of plastics and biomass. Methane, a toxic greenhouse gas, is produced in large volumes in for example naphtha crackers whilst no mature technology is readily available to utilize it as a feedstock. Plasma-based chemical processes, powered by renewable energy, operate at high temperatures and reactant ionization levels, facilitating rapid and complete conversion of methane to hydrogen and other valuable products with high efficiency. 

 

In the Hypro project, a microwave-driven plasma reactor for the conversion of methane into ethylene is considered. In the plasmalab, three other PhD students will also be working on this project. The PhD student will modify an existing 0D plasma model to compare different methane chemistry sets. Currently available reaction kinetics data sets stem from other communities such as the combustion science community and were optimized for conditions in which oxidation reactions are dominant. Their accuracy and validity in the absence of oxygen is yet unsure. The PhD student will perform a sensitivity analysis to establish the dominant reaction pathways. Based on experimental results obtained by another PhD student in the project, these chemistry sets are valorized and optimized with the purpose to construct a reduced set, which will be used as an input for a 3D plasma reactor model.

 

In this project, the responsibilities of the PhD student will entail:

• Plasma model development.
• Perform sensitivity analysis with 0D plasma model.
• Present your work at international conferences.
• Write scientific papers for international peer-reviewed journals.
• Provide teaching assistance and/or supervision of students.

 

As a PhD student, you will work in the plasmalab team in the Faculty of Science and Engineering located at Brightlands Chemelot Campus in Geleen. You will become part of a young international research group, specialized in plasma catalysis. 

 

Requirements
You are motivated, autonomous, hands-on, communicative, and interested in working in an international research environment.

Furthermore, the requisites for this position are:

• You hold a master's degree in (plasma) physics, chemistry, chemical engineering or related fields;
• Good university record;
• Knowledge of computational chemistry (modelling of chemical reactions) is a plus;
• Fluency in English (spoken and written).

 

What we offer
As PhD candidate in plasma model development for methane valorization at Faculty of Science & Engineering, you will be employed by the most international university in the Netherlands, located in the beautiful city of Maastricht. In addition, we offer you:

• Good employment conditions. The position is graded in scale P according to UFO profile PhD, with corresponding salary based on experience ranging from €2901,00 and €3707,00 gross per month (based on a full-time employment of 38 hours per week). In addition to the monthly salary, an 8.0% holiday allowance and an 8.3% year-end bonus apply.
• An employment contract for a period of 12 months with a scope of 1,0 FTE. Upon a positive evaluation, an extension of 3 years will follow.
• At Maastricht University, the well-being of our employees is of utmost importance, we offer flexible working hours and the possibility to work partly from home if the nature of your position allows it. You will receive a monthly commuting and internet allowance for this.
