PhD position: Model-based prediction of bionanoparticle separation by continuous ultracentrifugation and convective chromatography
That’s the project:
CAARE is a European Doctoral Networks project and deals with the characterization and recovery of bionanoparticles for vaccine delivery and gene therapy. Overall, 14 Doctoral Candidates will be trained at seven institutions in five European countries and will be supported by a network of industrial and academic partners.
At acib you will deal with the prediction of a separation process for bionanoparticles using Brownian dynamics and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). You will develop models to predict the operation parameters of a continuous flow ultracentrifuge and of convective chromatography, both for separation of AAV gene-therapy vectors and VLPs. Further, you will validate the computer simulations by experimental results.
That could be your future:
You are working in an enjoyable work climate, have numerous possibilities for further education and personal development. You are part of a challenging and helpful work environment full of team spirit and enthusiasm for your job. You expand your expertise and bridge your science to industry. We offer you fully flexible working hours and a package of voluntary social benefits (e.g. meal vouchers or tickets for public transport) is also part of our modern corporate culture. And not to forget: You make your research visible and broaden your network!
That’s important to us:
In the best way you have completed a Master’s degree or Diploma for a recognized University in (Bio)Chemical Engineering or Biotechnology or related fields. Research experiences in the following areas would be fine:
• Chemical Engineering
• Biochemical Engineering
• Mathematical Modelling
• Bioprocess Engineering
• Downstream processing
• IMPORTANT: The Mobility Rule for European Doctoral Networks applies: Researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of their host organisation for more than twelve months in the three years immediately before the start of employment.
That’s what you should know:
• The annual gross salary is EUR 32.856,32.
• This corresponds to a monthly net amount of EUR 1.774,93 (paid 14 times a year).
• In addition, a Mobility Allowance of EUR 600,00 net per month is due.
• Start: 1st of January 2025
