Students, professors, PhD students, and postdocs use the Chemical Engineering Department’s laboratories for education and research. As a technician and lab manager in the Catalysis Engineering Section, you ensure a safe and reliable operation of a lab focused on developing and demonstrating new catalytic solutions for energy transition and sustainability.
This requires an innovative mindset as our lab is at the forefront of developing novel heterogeneous catalysts and catalytic processes aimed at reducing energy use and minimizing negative impacts on the environment and human health. We use a multi-disciplinary approach that combines materials science, reaction engineering, and in situ/operando methods to thoroughly understand the active sites and transformation pathways involved in catalysis.
Your main responsibilities include setting up, managing, and maintaining specialized equipment crucial for our research. You’ll actively contribute to developing and implementing new research methods and catalytic technologies. As lab manager you coordinate a healthy and dynamic environment in the lab, promoting collaboration between the scientific and technical staff within the section and beyond. It’s crucial to ensure all equipment operates safely and reliably, as a technical expert you're skilled in troubleshooting and resolving malfunctions, either on your own or with maintenance specialists and colleagues.
You’ll instruct users on safe equipment operation and assist in educational labs, providing technical support and advice for specific research and educational projects. Your expertise in materials characterization, chemical engineering, and equipment operation is vital to our success.
In the Chemical Engineering Department, you’ll be part of a team of twenty enthusiastic lab technicians. Each member is responsible for their own lab but collaboration is key. Our team is diverse, with members from various nationalities, and we highly value your ideas and input.
