Luxembourg Paul Wurth Paul Wurth Geprolux Temps plein

We are looking for a

**Internship followed by fully funded PhD - Chemical process engineer (M/F/d)**

**During the internship you are expected to get familiar with the topic to prepare for the PhD, mainly doing**:

- Literature review and state of the art ammonia cracking research and reactor design best practices based on similar high temperature catalytic hydrogen reactions such as ethylene cracking or steam methane reforming
- Review, improve and document existing 1D Model from previous internships in C++, to achieve more accurate heat transfer and reaction equations. Revise C++ code to be more readable, more scalable and easy to use.

**During the PhD, you are expected to do the following**:

- Independently follow and manage the research required for developing an industrial ammonia cracker.
- Continuously improve and validate the 1D simulation model, to make it as representative as possible.
- Research and model the impact of using various steel plant off-gases in the reactor burner and heat transfer.
- Coordinate with external laboratories to receive required catalyst test data for improving the simulation model.
- Coordinate with burner, reactor and furnace manufacturers to obtain design criteria limits according to norms and fabrication limits. Use acquired knowledge together with simulation model results to optimize reactor design.
- Integrated process flowsheet optimization using the proposed reactor design to maximize process efficiency.
- Write publications required for obtaining a PhD according to University standards.

**What do we expect?**
- MSc in process engineering, chemical engineering, computational sciences, chemistry or related discipline.
- Strong analytical mindset and independent research capability. Critical thinking and problem solver.
- Deep understanding of thermodynamics, chemistry and transport phenomena.
- Good knowledge of MS Excel. Programming languages or process simulation software knowledge is a plus.
- Any experience with catalyst or catalytic reaction characterization is a plus.
- Any experience with reactor or furnace design is a plus.
- Good communication and proficiency in English. Any other languages are additional assets.

**What do we offer?**
- Fully funded PhD by FNR.lu in a diverse team in one of Luxembourg’s leading industrial players.
- Office near the well-connected Luxembourg train station with a free company parking lot for easy commuting.
- Flexible working hours, telework policy and flexible holiday planning.
