The ECG Materials Synthesis (located in Arnhem) has expertise in synthetic chemistry (organic and organic/inorganic hybrid materials) and physics. Our focus is on creating proprietary functional additives for use in formulated products that give novel properties and in developing environmentally sustainable chemistry routes for existing products. We have state of the art laboratory facilities for synthesis and characterization, as well as excellent modeling tools. We continuously track developments in selected competence areas of strategic importance.
The current main research fields of our ECG are:
• Organic chemistry for developing sustainable routes to existing products
• Rational catalyst design to develop less hazardous alternatives to current commercial catalysts
• Encapsulation technology to improve efficiency of functional additives
• Organic/inorganic hybrids for composite materials with enhanced performance
• Colloidal system/phase behavior understanding for improved performance of various formulations
• Modeling. Responsibility What do we offer?
As an intern, you have your own project within one of the above mentioned research fields. During your internship you are expected to work independently, under the supervision of one of our experts.
We have several internship possibilities available throughout the year in our department, typically lasting 4-12 months. Details and period of the internship are of course decided together with you. Job requirements / Candidate profile Who are we looking for?
We are looking for enthusiastic students at HBO (BSc) or academic (MSc) level with an interest in synthetic chemistry (organic, inorganic, or catalysis). The internships are only available for non graduates with a European Union (EU) nationality.
