PhD and Postdoc Positions in Contaminated Sludge to Resource, Environmental Biotechnology and Water Management at TU Delft Delft University of Technology in Netherlands

TU Delft is advertising 1 PhD position and 1 postdoctoral position within the Contaminated Sludge to Resource program. The work is multidisciplinary and spans Environmental Biotechnology, Water Management, and Hydraulic Engineering, with support from the Haskoning Innovation & Education Fund and co-funding from the TKI ChemistryNL research programme.

The PhD project is titled Microbial Transformation Processes in Contaminated Sediment Depots. It focuses on microbial transformation in contaminated sediments, pollutant degradation pathways, microbial communities, and bioreactor concepts for sustainable sediment management. This is a strong fit for candidates interested in environmental microbiology, biogeochemical processes, and sustainable remediation/resource recovery.

The postdoc is titled Physicochemical Processes in Sediment Depots for Resource Recovery. It centers on biochemical and physicochemical processes in contaminated sediment depots, pollutant transformation, resource recovery, and sustainable management. This role is suitable for researchers with experience in process-oriented environmental engineering, sediment treatment, or related areas.

The post is shared by Professor Mark van Loosdrecht of Delft University of Technology. No deadline, stipend, or detailed eligibility criteria are included in the post text provided. Interested applicants should follow the vacancy pages for the PhD and postdoc openings and review the full application instructions there.
