Intern R&D Electrostatics of Powders (all genders)

The aim of this internship is twofold. First, you will set up a robust measurement system for measuring electrostatics of powders. Secondly, you will investigate the relation between electrostatic behaviour and powder properties, both physical and chemical.

Within powder processes, electrostatic behaviour can cause disturbances, so increasing knowledge in this area is important. Because measuring electrostatics can be challenging, a reliable measurement system should be established.

The internship position is supervised and mentored by the Evaporation, Drying, Powder Handling, and Energy cluster. In addition to your work as an intern, you will participate as a valuable team member within the R&D community and learn from fellow team members. You will work on literature study, set up and execute experiments, communicate results, and come up with recommendations for improvements.

You will be positioned in the R&D Process Technology team. This is a multidisciplinary, multi-cultural, and dynamic group of specialists.

To be successful in this position, you are/have:

• At the end of your study for a Master degree, preferably in the area of Food Technology, Biotechnology, Physics, Mechanical engineering or equivalent.
• Knowledge and preferably experience with (food) powders.
• Capable of translating theoretical concepts into high quality lab experiments/measurements.
• Familiar with lab work and common analytical techniques/methods.
• Result oriented, good communication skills.

What we offer:

• You will earn 1 vacation day per month based on fulltime internship.
• Internship compensation of €500 HBO and €600 WO level on fulltime base.
• Join the Interns community within the company and participate in activities.
• No student public transport subscription? Your commuting expenses will be fully reimbursed.
