Two PhD scholarships: Chemical and Biochemical Engineering   1181 views

The Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Center for Energy Resources Engineering (CERE) at Technical University of Denmark  invites applicants for two PhD positions in the area of process modelling of CO2 conditioning – liquefaction and compression.”

About the positions:

• The PhD projects are part of the “3D” project (DMXTM Demonstration in Dunkirk) funded by Horizon 2020, the European Union’s research and innovation program.
• This H2020 project is coordinated by IFPEN, the “3D” project brings together 10 other partners from research and industry from 6 European countries: ArcelorMittal, Axens, Total and its 1/3 party Greenflex, RWTH, DTU, ACP, CMI, Gassco, Brevik Engineering and Uetikon.
• The projects will involve process modelling and simulation of CO2 conditioning as part of the full CO2 value chain from capture to storage.
• The selected candidates will consider CO2 liquefaction and compression.
• This is related to CO2 captured from the steel blast furnaces of Arcelor-Mittal in Dunkirk and then conditioned and prepared for transport to the North Sea cluster.

Qualifications:

• Candidates should have a two-year master’s degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master’s degree.
• A strong background in process engineering, process modelling, process simulation, thermodynamics, mathematical modelling, and computer programming experience is essential.

Applications:

Apply online (in English in one PDF file) and the file must include:

• A letter motivating the application (cover letter)
• CV
• Grade transcripts and BSc/MSc diploma
• Excel sheet with translation of grades to the Danish grading system (see guidelines and Excel spreadsheet here)
