Intern R&D Electrostatics of Powders (all genders)

• 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

• At the end of your study for a Master degree, preferably in the area of Food Technology, Biotechnology, Physics, Mechanical engineering or equivalent.

• Internship compensation €600 on fulltime base.
• Join the interns community within the company and participate with fun activities.
• 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.

The internship position is set up to be supervised and mentored by the Evaporation, Drying, Powder Handling, and Energy cluster. Next to your work as an intern, you will participate as a valuable team member within the R&D community. As such, you will also learn from the fellow team members.You will be working on literature study, set up and execute experiments, communicate results back and come up with recommendations for improvements. You will be located in the Innovation Centre on the Wageningen Campus.

The aim of the internship is two folded. First, you set up a robust measurement system for measuring electrostatics of powders. Secondly, you investigate the relation between electrostatic behaviour and the powder properties, both physical as chemical. Within our powder processes, electrostatic behaviour of powders can disturb these. Therefore, knowledge on electrostatics should be increased. However, measuring electrostatics can be challenging. So, a good measurement system should be in place.
