Umeå University in Sweden is advertising a 2-year postdoctoral position in Environmental Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry. The project focuses on hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) , especially the recovery of carbon and organic material from HTC filtrates. The successful candidate will study how self-generated carbon (SGC) forms in process water and what filtrate chemistry controls its formation. The work sits within the RE-FIL project, which aims to turn HTC filtrate from a waste stream ...

About this position

The Water and Environmental Engineering research group in the Department of Sustainable Development, Environmental Science and Engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology is seeking two motivated doctoral candidates to work on innovative solutions for wastewater and sludge management.

The project centres on the fate and behaviour of PFAS during wastewater treatment and the development of technologies for PFAS removal and destruction. The student will work with wastewater analysis, including PFAS and their transformation products, and will investigate adsorption-based approaches using biochar and granular activated carbon (GAC).

The research also includes electrochemical processes for PFAS transformation, placing the project at the intersection of environmental engineering, water quality research, and contaminant treatment innovation. The broader research environment in the WEE group spans water quality, micropollutants, resource recovery, and sustainable treatment technologies.

Associate Professor Sahar Dalahmeh is proposed as supervisor for the doctoral student.

Funding details

Monthly salary according to KTH’s Doctoral student salary agreement; employee benefits. Employment period for a licentiate degree may not exceed two years of full-time doctoral education.

What's required

Applicants must have basic eligibility for postgraduate education, demonstrated by a second-cycle degree (for example a master’s degree), at least 240 higher education credits including at least 60 second-cycle credits, or equivalent knowledge. A master’s degree in Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or a related field is required. English proficiency equivalent to English B/6 is mandatory. Preferred qualifications include a background in analytical methods such as LC-MS and spectrophotometry, experience or interest in wastewater treatment and laboratory analysis of wastewater and sludge, practical hands-on experience with wastewater treatment processes at large-scale wastewater treatment plants, and knowledge of programming and data analysis such as Python, R, or MATLAB. Candidates should be goal oriented, persevering, able to work independently and collaboratively, professional, and capable of analyzing complex issues.

How to apply

Apply and request admission through KTH’s recruitment system. Make sure the application is complete and follows the instructions in the advert. Include diplomas, grades, proof of language requirements, a CV, a motivation letter, and representative publications or technical reports with abstracts and full-text links if needed.
