PhD in PFAS Removal with Activated Carbon in Drinking Water Treatment Wageningen University & Research in Netherlands

PhD opportunity at Wetsus on advanced water treatment , focusing on PFAS removal , micropollutants , transformation products , advanced oxidation processes , and GAC filtration . The project, titled “Designing Next-Generation Water Treatment Trains for PFAS and Micropollutant Removal?” , investigates radical exposure allocation in sequential O3/H2O2–UV/H2O2–GAC treatment trains. The goal is to develop practical design rules for robust treatment trains that improve contaminant removal while limit...

Postdoctoral opportunity at Universiteit Twente in the Netherlands on multi-risk adaptation pathways for river delta systems . The project addresses how river delta regions can adapt to sea-level rise and extreme hydrological events while balancing competing priorities such as drinking water supply, flood-risk reduction, and ecosystem protection. The postdoc will work within the Dynamic Adaptive Pathways Planning for Multi-Risk (DAPP-MR) framework to develop robust adaptation pathways for comple...

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...
