About this position

LEQUIA is advertising 33 funded international PhD positions in the TERRA-MED doctoral programme, with one project focused on microbes, algae, fungi and membranes for net-positive water reuse.

The project (UdG4) is hosted by the Universitat de Girona in Spain, in collaboration with the European Institute of Membranes of Montpellier in France. The research aims to develop an integrated system for low-cost production of safe water by combining membrane systems with multiple biological processes. The goal is to remove contaminants and recover value from pollutants such as organic matter, nitrogen, and phosphorus, turning them into energy and biostimulants.

This opportunity is especially relevant for candidates interested in Environmental Science, Biology, Chemical Engineering, Agriculture, and Materials Science, with a strong focus on water treatment, water reuse, climate resilience, and environmental biotechnology. The post highlights the chance to work across two research environments in Spain and France and to gain complementary expertise in breakthrough membrane and environmental biotechnologies.

Funding: the position is funded under the TERRA-MED MSCA COFUND programme. No stipend amount or tuition details are stated in the post.

Applications: open from 15 October to 31 December 2026. The PhD is expected to start in September 2027. Interested applicants should review the programme information and apply via the PhD offers/topics portal.
