The Laboratory for Product and Process Design at the Departments of Chemical Engineering & Bioengineering, University of Illinois at Chicago, seeks outstanding candidates for Two Postdoctoral Research Associate Positions (Chemical Engineering) in research on synthesis of energy-efficient reaction and separation systems as well as integrated design and control. Interested candidates with experience in robust control, model predictive control, dynamic optimization, uncertainty analysis, object-oriented programming, and process synthesis are especially encouraged to apply. One position will focus on developing methods and algorithms of the energy-efficient reaction and separation systems. The second position involves dynamic simulation, synthesis of control schemes and model uncertainty. Both positions are available immediately. The staff appointment including the University of Illinois benefits will be offered for a year initially. Initial salary will be commensurate with the qualification of the candidate (app. 33,000 - 38,000 US$). Please send applications including a curriculum vitae and a list of three references to: Laboratory for Product and Process Design (Prof. Andreas A.
