PhD in Advanced Oxidation and PFAS Removal for Water Treatment Trains Wetsus in Netherlands

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...

Laboratory of Food Process Engineering at Wageningen University & Research shares an update about a new postdoc in the Horizon Europe-funded Air2Food project. The research focus is sustainable downstream processing strategies for gas-based precision fermentation in Europe, connecting food process engineering, future foods, and protein innovation. This post is not an open call for applications; it is a congratulatory announcement about Aryo Nugroho starting his postdoc after completing his PhD at...

PhD opening at Wetsus in flagship sustainable-by-design circular composite bioplastics , focused on polymer science , chemical engineering , and materials science . The project sits within the Wetsus research theme Biopolymers from Water and the newly funded EU project SOWISE+ . The research aims to develop tools to predict and control property specifications of cellulose composites made with co-polymer blends of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHA-based bioplastics). The work conn...

Wetsus, the European centre of excellence for sustainable water technology, is offering a PhD project titled Beyond the boundaries of phosphate desorption . The project explores the surface chemistry behind phosphate-iron (hydr)oxide sorption, with a strong focus on regeneration mechanisms, desorption kinetics, and regenerant consumption in wastewater treatment applications. Research conducted at Wetsus has shown that continuous adsorption with iron (hydr)oxide-based adsorbents can remove phosph...

Open postdoctoral associate position in indoor air quality , volatile organic compounds (VOCs) , and the efficacy and impacts of indoor air cleaners . The project focuses on how commercial air cleaners affect indoor VOC levels and composition, including chemical transformations that may occur inside the devices, and on estimating the resulting effects on indoor air quality and health. The position is being shared by Jesse Kroll and appears to be based at Massachusetts Institute of Technology . T...
