(01) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title:  Postdoctoral fellow

  • Belgium has been taking a leading position in the transition towards a hydrogen economy thanks to many companies and research institutes active in hydrogen technologies. In addition, Belgium has currently the second largest hydrogen pipeline network in the world and has a strategic position in Western Europe as an import and transit hub for renewable H2 molecules.
  • In the context of these global and local evolutions, Ghent University (UGent) focuses on an important link in the future hydrogen economy, being the storage of hydrogen in pressurized composite tanks, both in the vehicle itself as in refueling stations. Indeed, the success of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles depends both on the development of safe storage options in the vehicle, as well as a supporting refueling infrastructure.
  • UGent-MMS is partner in a large new research project with several leading companies in the automotive industry. This research project aims at developing composite solutions for future hydrogen storage tanks. This postdoc vacancy is focused on the experimental characterization of composites for hydrogen tanks. This includes measurement of physical and mechanical properties, instrumentation and data acquisition on full tanks and assessment of solutions for Structural Health Monitoring. The research will be done in close collaboration with the involved industrial partners.
  • The postdoc researcher will also closely work together with the other doctoral and postdoctoral colleagues that work on composite hydrogen tanks, to form a strong and complementary team for this highly challenging research topic..

Deadline : Jan 31, 2025

(02) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc summary/title: Postdoctoral fellow

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher interested in bioproduction, with a focus on extraction and purification, to participate in EU Horizon projects LUCRA and Manurefinery. The latter is a recently awarded project, with 22 partners from 10 different countries, aiming to demonstrate on several farms in Europe novel technologies that recover resources such as organics, nutrients and energy. Ghent University will develop a pilot system in which we convert biomass to caproic acid, an interesting building block molecule as well as a feed additive. We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to guide and implement, together with other project staff, the system development at laboratory scale. The postdoctoral researcher will also work with contractors to design the pilot system and supervise its construction and on-site installation, including training for operators. The laboratory scale development will aim not only at pilot design, but also delve into scientific questions that are still outstanding. The postdoctoral researcher will also participate in a second EU project, LUCRA ((www.lucra-project.eu ), in which similar approaches are followed but in a context of production of plastics from agricultural side streams.

Deadline : Dec 19, 2024

(03) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral fellow

In the context of the development of a novel Inverse Compton Scattering X-ray source at TU Eindhoven, the Radiation Physics research group at UGent is responsible for the development of and research on X-ray transmission imaging and tomography at this unique X-ray source. To this end, we are hiring a post-doctoral fellow.

The applicant will be responsible for the optimization of the measurement end-station as well as conceiving and executing experiments to fully exploit the unique properties of this X-ray source. For this purpose, we will apply different types of X-ray detectors (hyperspectral and multispectral photon-counting detectors, conventional X-ray detectors with a scintillator and X-ray microscopes combining scintillator and objective lens for sub-micron resolution) as well as a set of motor stages designed specifically for this setup.

The preparation of these experiments takes place at the Ghent University Centre for X-ray Tomography facilities (ugct.ugent.be), yet the experiments themselves will require short research stays at TU Eindhoven.

Deadline : Dec 31, 2024

About Ghent University, Belgium  –Official Website

Ghent University is a public research university located in Ghent, Belgium. It was established in 1817 by King William I of the Netherlands. After the Belgian revolution of 1830, the newly formed Belgian state began to administer the university. In 1930, the university became the first Dutch-speaking university in Belgium, whereas French had previously been the standard academic language in what was Université de Gand. In 1991, it was granted major autonomy and changed its name accordingly from State University of Ghent (Dutch: Rijksuniversiteit Gent, abbreviated as RUG) to its current designation.

In contrast to the Catholic University of Leuven or the Free University of Brussels, UGent considers itself a pluralist university in a special sense, i.e. not connected to any particular religion or political ideology. Its motto Inter Utrumque (‘In Between Both Extremes’), on the coat of arms, suggests the acquisition of wisdom and science comes only in an atmosphere of peace, when the institution is fully supported by the monarchy and fatherland.

Ghent University is one of the biggest Flemish universities, consisting of 44,000 students and 9,000 staff members. The University also supports the University Library and the University Hospital, which is one of the largest hospitals in Belgium. It is one of the greatest beneficiaries of funding from the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO). Ghent University consistently rates among the top 100 universities in the world.
