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.
