Stockholm University is offering a fully-funded PhD position in materials chemistry, focusing on climate technology and BECCS (Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage). The successful candidate will join Professor Niklas Hedin's team and the SSF-funded ACCELERATE project, working on developing new liquids and adsorbents for safer and more cost-effective CO2 capture from biomass combustion flue gases. The research aims to create innovative materials, such as aminated nanoparticles or colloids, that can bind CO2 efficiently and reduce energy requirements for its release, thereby improving sustainability and safety compared to current technologies. The project is integrated into a larger competence center dedicated to accelerating the transition and scaling of bioCO2 utilization. Applicants should have a master's degree or equivalent in chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, or physics, with strong analytical, creative, and teamwork skills, and proficiency in English. The position is fully funded for four years, with a fixed salary and no tuition fees. The application deadline is November 3, 2025. Candidates should apply through Stockholm University's recruitment system, submitting all required documents. The team includes supervisors Niklas Hedin, Jiayin Yuan, Belén Martín-Matute, and Christophe Duwig, offering a multidisciplinary and collaborative research environment.

Stockholm University is offering a fully funded PhD position in Materials Chemistry, focusing on the development of advanced materials and scrubbing fluids for CO2 capture. The research aims to design new materials, such as aminated nanoparticles or colloids, to improve energy efficiency and reduce harmful emissions in carbon dioxide capture processes. The project is part of the SSF-funded ACCELERATE competence center, which supports the transition and upscaling of bioCO2 use. The Department of Chemistry at Stockholm University is one of the largest in Sweden, with extensive research infrastructure and a broad range of chemistry disciplines. Applicants must hold a Master's degree (or equivalent) in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or Physics, and have completed independent advanced-level work. Strong analytical skills, initiative, collaboration ability, and English proficiency are required. The position offers a fixed salary for four years, full-time employment, and integration into a dynamic research environment. The application deadline is November 3, 2025. Interested candidates should apply through the university's recruitment system, submitting a personal letter, CV, and all required documents. For more information, contact Professors Niklas Hedin or Jiayin Yuan at Stockholm University.

Stockholm University is offering fully funded PhD and postdoctoral positions in the Department of Chemistry, focusing on the interface between organic chemistry and materials science. These opportunities are part of prestigious initiatives: the PhD position is funded by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet), and the postdoc position is supported by the Wallenberg Initiative Material Science for Sustainability (WISE), Sweden’s largest materials science investment. The research group, led by Assistant Professor Miguel Rivero-Crespo, specializes in the synthesis and characterization of porous materials such as Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs), which are tailored with catalytically active sites for use as heterogeneous catalysts in organic reactions. The project is highly interdisciplinary, combining organic chemistry, materials science, and catalysis, with a strong emphasis on sustainability. The main goal is to develop efficient, sustainable chemical processes by creating advanced heterogeneous catalysts that minimize byproduct formation and reduce the environmental impact of chemical production. The sustainability of new processes will be evaluated using various metrics. PhD and postdoc researchers will join a vibrant, international environment with access to state-of-the-art research infrastructure and a dynamic academic community. The WISE program offers a national research school with seminars, courses, research visits, and networking activities, fostering multidisciplinary and international collaboration among doctoral students, postdocs, and industry partners. Eligibility: PhD applicants should hold a relevant degree in chemistry or a related field and demonstrate a strong interest in organic chemistry and materials science. Postdoc candidates must have a completed PhD or equivalent in a relevant discipline, with expertise in synthesis and characterization of porous materials (MOF, COF, zeolites), catalysis (especially heterogeneous), and experience in organic, inorganic, or materials chemistry. Additional skills such as analytical thinking, creativity, independence, teamwork, and proficiency in English and/or Swedish are valued. Funding: Both positions are fully funded. The PhD position is for 4 years, and the postdoc position is for 2 years, with full-time employment and individual salary agreements. Researchers benefit from Stockholm University’s supportive environment, located in the National City Park with excellent connections to the city. Application: Apply online via the official Stockholm University recruitment system using the provided links. Submit a CV, cover letter, and all required documents as specified in the application form. Ensure your application is complete and submitted before the respective deadlines (PhD: 2026-01-20, Postdoc: 2026-01-11).
