Full-time academic position in functional inorganic materials - ULB, Belgium

Occupancy: 100% Professorship

Tenure Track: The starting contract is 3 years. After the first 3 years period, an evaluation of the scientific and teaching activities will be carried out. Following a positive evaluation, the position will become tenured. 

Area of Research: Inorganic Non-metallic Materials Engineering

The École Polytechnique de Bruxelles (Université libre de Bruxelles) is opening a full-time academic position in Inorganic Non-metallic Materials Engineering. The recruited candidate will develop and lead research expertise in the design, synthesis, characterisation, and functional development of sustainable inorganic materials, with a focus on glass and/or ceramics (metallic materials are explicitly outside the scope of this profile). The successful candidate should combine a rigorous understanding of materials physics with experimental expertise spanning the complete workflow, from material elaboration to property characterisation and functional evaluation. The candidate will develop activities in fields directly relevant to the sustainability transition including (but not exclusively) the use of ceramics and glasses in renewable energy applications, the design of low-carbon and energy-efficient materials, the development of functional materials for transition towards industrial decarbonization.
