We are looking for an outstandingly qualified and scientifically proven person who is committed to representing the specialist focus of solid process engineering in research and teaching. The focus is on experimental and/or model-based approaches for applications in the field of particle technology (from nano- to macroscopic), fine chemistry, building materials, pharmaceutical technology, environmental technology applications, formulation/particle design, as well as particle measurement technology and analysis. A particular focus on the design, optimization and control of particle-based processes would be desirable (process engineering focus) . The research of the position holder should strengthen and complement the existing focus areas of the faculty's institutes , for example in the field of pharmaceutical particle and process technology, in the field of materials for environmental technology applications, process engineering and description of fiber-based materials, formulation/particle design, as well as particle measurement technology and analysis.
Ideally, the applicant's research focus will be in the areas of process engineering of solid-state processes (organic and inorganic particles), measurement technology, process control, modeling and particle engineering.
Close cooperation between related research areas and research centers at TU GRAZ (e.g. FoEs & Comet centers) as well as with NAWI Graz and BioTechMed Graz (cooperation between universities) is expected.
In teaching, the aim is to expand the area of mechanical process engineering/particle technology and to introduce new aspects into research-led teaching and to convey these in bachelor's, master's and doctoral programs.
