September 5, 2008

A PhD fellowship is available in the Chemical Reactor Technology Group at the
Department of Chemical Engineering, the Norwegian University of Science and
Technology (NTNU), Trondheim, Norway.

Topic: Modeling and simulation of multiphase bubble column reactors with a
population balance description of the bubble size distribution. The dynamic 3D
model equations should preferably be solved by the least squares spectral
element method.

The project is part of a larger research program finnanced by the Norwegian
Research Council. The aim of the present project is to provide advanced
simulation program tools for the chemical reactors employed by the Norwegian
industry utilizing natural gas as feedstock. To develop a solid platform for
future reactive flow modelling, the PhD will focus on the numerical issues and
the novel impacts induced by the applications of multiphase models to reactive
flows. Important processes involved: Steam methane reforming (SMR), Fischer-
Tropsch synthesis, ammonia- and the methanol production.

Qualifications: A PhD student must hold an MSc degree in a subject relevant for
the project and have good knowledge of:
• multiphase fluid dynamics
• numerical methods
• scientific computing
• programming

Regulations: The PhD position is for a period of 3 years.

The PhD positions are remunerated according to salary code 1017, salary level
45-47 on the Norwegian state salary scale. This amounts to an annual gross
salary of NOK 353200 to NOK 365300 of which 2 % is deducted for the Norwegian
Public Service Pension Fund. PhD candidates normally start at wage level 45.

NTNU’s PhD-rules require a master degree or equivalent with at least 5 years of
studies and an average grade of A or B within a scale of A-E for passing grades

send a Diploma Supplement or a similar document, which describes in detail the
study and grade system and the rights for further studies associated with the
obtained degree:

NTNU’s objective is to increase the number of females in scientific positions.
Female applicants are therefore encouraged to apply.

Applicants must be able to communicate fluently in English (in speaking and
writing). Applicants must indicate their level of language skills in English.

The appointment of the research fellow will be made according to Norwegian
guidelines for universities and university colleges.

Applications: Applications, diploma, publications, grade transcripts,
Curriculum Vitae, and any other materials must be enclosed to the application.
The application may be sent electronically to Professor Hugo A Jakobsen by the
application deadline 30 September 2008.

Applications should be send to:
