PhD in Mechanisms of Surface-Active Chemical Film Formation and Their Mechanical Properties Wageningen University & Research in Netherlands

This postdoctoral project at Wageningen University & Research focuses on the physical chemistry behind food ingredient functionality and on improving how it is measured across laboratories. The work addresses a clear methodological challenge in food science: analytical methods for properties such as emulsifying, foaming, and gelling functionality are often not sufficiently standardized, making comparisons between studies difficult. The successful candidate will contribute to the development, cri...

Wageningen University & Research is offering a four-year Sandwich PhD focused on turning faecal sludge into clean energy in Kenya and Ethiopia. The project investigates faecal sludge briquettes (FSB) as a sustainable alternative to firewood and charcoal, supporting urban sanitation, resource recovery, climate resilience, and just energy transitions. The PhD candidate will be based at the Environmental Technology group at Wageningen University & Research, with research carried out in collaboratio...
