Departement: Departement Chemie Regime Voltijds **Let’s shape the future - University of Antwerp** The University of Antwerp is a dynamic, forward-thinking, European university. We offer an innovative academic education to more than 20 000 students, conduct pioneering scientific research and play an important service-providing role in society. We are one of the largest, most international and most innovative employers in the region. With more than 6 000 employees from 100 different countries, we are helping to build tomorrow's world every day. Through top scientific research, we push back boundaries and set a course for the future – a future that you can help to shape. The Department of Chemistry in the Faculty of Science is looking for a **full-time (100%) doctoral scholarship holder in the field of Computational Chemistry.** **Position** * You will actively work on the preparation and defence of a PhD thesis in the field of Chemistry. * You will be working on **atomistic modelling of seeded emulsion polymerization using molecular dynamics simulations** within the MOSAIC research group. The project focuses on understanding how monomers are transported into polymer particles and incorporated into growing polymer chains, and how molecular interactions influence transport, reactivity and particle growth. You will develop and apply machine-learning potentials to study polymerization in realistic polymer environments and investigate polymer dynamics, phase compatibility and morphology development. The research will be carried out in close collaboration with an experimental research group (iPRACS) that synthesizes and characterizes these polymer systems, enabling direct comparison between simulations and experiments. * You will draw up a research plan and corresponding research methods in consultation with your supervisors and undertake the necessary administration for a smooth PhD process. * You will conduct the research efficiently and to an appropriate standard, possibly abroad, and compete for funding for general or specific costs. * You will report progress to your supervisors and committees and present your research at scientific conferences. * You will defend your thesis publicly and aim for publication in the scientific press. * You will make a supporting, scientific contribution to existing research projects or lines of research within and beyond your own doctoral research. * You will compete for external funding to complement the currently internally funded PhD project. * In addition to project-based research, you will also be responsible for a limited range of support tasks related to teaching and/or research management within of the Department of Chemistry. **Profile** * You hold a master’s degree in
