ph3bPostdoc Solvothermal Recycling of Cardiac Catheters /b /h3 pbShape the future of biomaterials from waste! /b /p pWe have a new Postdoc vacancy in our group on solvothermal recycling of cardiac catheters. This Postdoc position is part of the newly funded Top Sector Life Sciences Health (LSH) project – EvalueWaste. /p pThis project brings together a multidisciplinary consortium from industry and academia to tackle one of the most pressing challenges of the healthcare sector: single-use cardiac electro-surgical catheters. Every year, about 170,000 electro-surgical instruments and cardiac electro-surgical catheters are discarded, along with 70,000 kg of plastic handles. These single-use devices are often made of complex, highly engineered composite materials with various types of polymers and precious metals that are difficult to recycle. Thus, after used, cardiac catheters are usually incinerated, resulting in significant material losses and environmental impact /p pAs a Postdoc within the EvalueWaste consortium at TU Delft, you will: /p ul liScale-up of a solvothermal process to recover metals and polymers from cardiac catheters for reuse. /li liPublish high-quality scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals and contribute to project reports in collaboration with the project supervisors and others. /li liParticipate in consortium meetings, workshops, and stakeholder events, and actively contribute to knowledge exchange and impact activities. /li liSupport the supervision of students where relevant and contribute to the academic life of the department. /li /ul pThis Postdoc position provides a unique opportunity to help redefine the circularity in the healthcare sector in collaboration with the leading industry and the unique GreenCycl initiative. /p h3bJob requirements /b /h3 ul liYou are strong in advanced chemical engineering research and enjoy hands‑on experimental work.
