You possess a PhD degree in environmental/water engineering or related area and expertise in physicochemical separation techniques, such as membrane-based processes and/or advanced oxidation processes.

You have an inspiring personality, with the capacity to create lasting and effective connections between researchers in other groups inside and outside TU Delft, and act as a driver for the further development of physicochemical techniques for efficient water use in industrial processes. An ambition for acquiring external funding is required.

Teaching of MSc students and PhD candidates will form part of your duties. The ability and willingness to acquire a university teaching qualification is therefore necessary.

You will start with a temporary contract that will be converted to a permanent contract no later than 12 -18 months after a positive evaluation, based on continuous confidence in your development potential and fit in the organisation.
