PhD in Light-Driven CO2 Capture and Molecular Systems at ETH Zürich ETH Zürich in Switzerland

ETH Zurich’s Laboratory of Energy Science and Engineering (LESE) is advertising a PhD position in Atomic-Scale Structure–Function Relationships in Separation Materials for Sustainable Processes . The project is funded by NCCR Separations and is centered on understanding how atomic structure controls the performance of separation materials for CO₂ capture and the recovery of critical elements such as lithium and cobalt from complex waste streams. The research is highly interdisciplinary and combi...

ETH Zurich is advertising a PhD opening in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction funded by NCCR Catalysis . The position is hosted in the Advanced Catalysis Engineering group in the Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences (D-CHAB) and will contribute to accelerating electrocatalytic CO2 reduction toward a robust technology. The project uses a multiscale approach that integrates catalyst design , advanced characterization , reaction engineering , and data science . A key research focus is the on...
