The Research Training Group 3068, Climate-Informed Engineering, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), is dedicated to interdisciplinary research on climate-informed sustainable resource management and environmental engineering. As part of this Research Training Group, we offer dedicated researchers the opportunity to pursue a doctorate in an outstanding research environment at Hamburg University of Technology, in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology and the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment, and Health (UNU-INWEH). The RTG aims to increase the percentage of women in science and particularly encourages women to apply. Due to their underrepresentation, women will be given priority in cases of equal suitability, qualifications, and professional performance.

The position is supervised by the Institute of Solids Process Engineering and Particle Technology (SPE). The research focuses on investigating the impact of raw material properties of lignin, influenced by climate variations, on the spray drying process. The goal is to develop a model correlating raw material properties, climate data, and process parameters, using lab- and pilot-scale spray dryers.

YOUR TASKS

1. Perform spray drying experiments on lab- and pilot plant-scale.
2. Analyze product properties such as particle size distribution, structure, and flowability.
3. Analyze data to find correlations between raw material properties, process conditions, and product properties.
4. Develop and validate models on industrial scale with the industrial partner Lignopure GmbH.

YOUR PROFILE

Requirements
- Completed scientific university studies, particularly in process engineering or mechanical engineering.

Knowledge and Skills
- Knowledge in particle and drying technology; experience in spray drying and particle analysis are advantageous.
- Experience in data analysis and model development.
- Very good knowledge of German and English (B2/C1 level).
- Strong communication skills and ability to work in an international research environment.

OUR OFFER

• Research within the RTG framework with extensive training and lecture opportunities.
• Collaboration in an interdisciplinary, motivated, and committed team.
• Research in an innovative, progressive, and industrially relevant field.
• Participation in national and international conferences.
• Access to campus fitness facilities, varsity sports, and special conditions in selected sports and gyms.

At TU Hamburg, our guiding principle is developing technology for people, emphasizing sustainability, family-friendliness, and excellence.
