PhD and Postdoctoral Positions in Systems Chemistry, Microfluidics, and Metamaterials for Robotic Touch University of Groningen in Netherlands

PhD position at the University of Twente in the Integrated Devices and Systems (IDS) group , Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS), focused on microfluidics , MEMS , sensor packaging , and hermetic sealing for medical flow systems. The project addresses a key challenge in ventilators and multi-infusion systems: how to connect a microfluidic sensor chip to the outside world without glue or elastomer seals . The research aims to develop a reliable glueless pac...

Wetsus is advertising PhD project 2026.19, “Beyond the boundaries of phosphate desorption: Uncovering the surface chemistry behind phosphate-iron (hydr)oxide sorption.” The project is centered on surface chemistry , chemical engineering , materials science , and environmental science , with a strong focus on phosphate removal and regeneration in wastewater treatment. The research investigates how phosphate is adsorbed and desorbed on iron (hydr)oxide-based adsorbents, why regenerant solutions ar...
