About this position

Postdoc in Printing of Complex Fluids at Wageningen University & Research

This postdoctoral opening is in the chair group of Physical Chemistry and Soft Matter at Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands. The project focuses on the experiments and theory of printing complex fluids, especially the physics of droplet formation and jetting in inkjet printing with multicomponent fluids.

The research topic sits at the intersection of soft matter, fluid dynamics, physics, chemistry, and materials science. The project aims to understand the physicochemical hydrodynamics governing jetting behavior just after droplet creation, including the role of miscible liquids, surfactants, polymers, colloidal pigment particles, cavitation, satellite droplets, and meniscus dynamics. The work includes building a high-speed imaging instrument coupled to a fluorescent light-sheet microscope and developing model ink systems.

You will work with Prof. Jasper van der Gucht, Dr. Thomas Kodger, and Dr. Uddalok Sen, and collaborate closely with a PhD candidate. The post is especially suited to candidates with a PhD in experimental soft matter, physics, fluid dynamics, or a related field, plus experience in microscopy/imaging at high speeds and a strong interest in developing new instrumentation.

Funding and contract: this is a salaried postdoctoral research position, not a scholarship. WUR offers a one-year contract that may be extended, a gross monthly salary of €3,546–€5,538 for 38 hours/week, and standard employment benefits including a year-end bonus and pension.

Application deadline: 15 May 2026. Applications must be submitted through the WUR vacancy website.
