PhD in PFAS Treatment and Destruction Technologies Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden

Chalmers University of Technology is advertising a doctoral student (PhD) position in PFAS treatment and destruction technologies within the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.

The project is part of the Formas-funded COAST PFAS initiative, led by the IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute and carried out in collaboration with Chalmers University of Technology, Örebro University, and municipal wastewater treatment plants. The broader aim is to develop practical and scalable solutions to reduce PFAS emissions to coastal waters through upstream source control, advanced analytical methods, treatment technologies, and governance innovation.

The PhD research specifically focuses on developing and evaluating treatment trains that combine PFAS pre-concentration, catalytic destruction, photocatalytic destruction, and advanced analytical verification to achieve robust PFAS elimination in complex water matrices.

This opportunity is especially relevant for candidates interested in chemistry, environmental science, and chemical engineering, particularly water treatment, environmental remediation, and analytical verification of emerging contaminants. The post does not mention a specific deadline, stipend amount, or detailed eligibility criteria in the text provided.
