Chemical Engineering and Chemistry

Chemical Engineering and Chemistry department is one of the nine departments of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e).

We are known internationally for our excellence and expertise in basic science & technology disciplines. We focus on developing methodologies, understanding complexity in all its shapes and sizes and enhancing system thinking in research as important prerequisites for interdisciplinary research. By combining our strong disciplines, we explore new emerging scientific areas and enable promising innovations in the light of societal challenges. Open science is our standard.

Scientific career

After a PhD, many scientists opt for a postdoctoral period, often in another country or at another university, mostly for several years. It is an opportunity to broaden and deepen your research skills, contribute to the research field, and build up a track record. TU/e also offers (international) postdoctoral researchers the opportunity to enhance their research experience.

After your postdoctoral experience, you can apply for a Development Track as an Assistant Professor. TU/e encourages talented scientists to develop into assistant and associate professors. Successful associate professors can eventually take the step to a professors’ position. 

Research groups include:

• Bio-Organic Chemistry
• Chemical Process Intensification
• Inorganic Materials & Catalysis
• Macro-Organic Chemistry
• Membrane Materials and Processes
• Molecular Materials and Nanosystems
