About this position

PhD opportunity at INSA Toulouse / Toulouse Biotechnology Institute in France within the Horizon Europe MSCA Doctoral Network PRIME LEAP (“Next-generation intensified chemical processes integrating plasma and single-atom catalysis”).

The project title is Drivers of Environmental Performance in Low-Fossil-Carbon Chemical Pathways: Prospective LCA Methods to Compare Plasma–Catalytic Methane Valorisation with Fossil and Bio-Based Alternatives. The research sits at the intersection of life cycle assessment, prospective modelling, chemical engineering, process engineering, environmental engineering, industrial ecology, energy systems, applied chemistry, applied physics, materials science, plasma chemistry, and catalysis.

The selected doctoral candidate will join an interdisciplinary network involving researchers and industrial partners across Europe, and will work on sustainability science for emerging industrial technologies. The position is described as a frontier process topic with strong methodological emphasis on rigorous environmental assessment.

Eligibility highlights: Master’s degree or equivalent in a relevant field; experience with LCA, prospective modelling, Python, Brightway, openLCA, ecoinvent, uncertainty analysis, or process modelling is an asset. Curiosity, rigour, and willingness to learn are explicitly valued. MSCA mobility rules apply.

Funding/duration: Doctoral Candidate position, 36 months, funded through the MSCA Doctoral Network. No stipend amount is stated in the post.

Deadline: 30 August 2026 for full consideration.

How to apply: Email [email protected] with subject line “PRIME-LEAP DC11 application”. The post says the enclosed document contains full application details.
