The Molecular Engineering Thermodynamics (MET) group at ETH Zurich is looking for a doctoral student to develop and improve computational tools for the molecular scale description of mass transport in membranes with an application to separation processes.
The MET group at ETH Zurich, led by Philipp Rehner, is dedicated to linking rigorous physical molecular models to the design of sustainable processes in chemical engineering.
To bridge the scale from molecules to processes, we apply state-of-the art mathematical concepts and tools combined with highly efficient computational methods.
A particular focus is on the modeling of interfacial phenomena in process design applications.
Our technological focus is on emerging technologies for the energy transition. Project background
A sustainable supply of our energy and materials demands must be built on novel processes that feature renewable feedstocks, green energy supply, and improved energy efficiency.
An efficient design of novel processes needs to account for the interactions of molecules and materials with the process performance that occur at interfaces: e.g., adsorbent materials, heat exchanger surfaces, or membranes.
The ProMote project establishes an integrated material and process design workflow that – for the first time – incorporates rigorous molecular models for interfacial phenomena directly into the evaluation and design of processes.

Our technological focus is on emerging technologies for the energy transition. Project background
In the ProMote project, the integrated design workflow will be demonstrated for three emerging technologies: carbon capture, high-temperature heat pumps, and membrane separations.
As an integral part of your work, you will publish your results in peer-reviewed journals and present them at international conferences
The ability to work independently and excellent communication and writing skills in English complete your profile
