About this position
PhD opportunity in Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) at the University of Lorraine in Nancy, France, focused on the interface of chemistry, chemical engineering, and energy.
The project investigates how SAFs age over time, how oxidation changes fuel composition, and how early oxidation products evolve into oligomers, gums, and deposits. The research combines reaction kinetics, analytical chemistry, spectroscopy, and process engineering to identify the macromolecules responsible for deposit formation and to measure their formation kinetics.
Planned methods include experimental oxidation studies in reactors, GC/MS, HPLC, IR and Raman spectroscopy, and microfluidic approaches. The candidate will work on developing analytical protocols, characterizing oxidized products, and validating experimental methods for liquid-phase SAF oxidation.
Eligibility highlights: applicants should have a master’s degree or engineering diploma in chemistry, chemical engineering, or a related area; strong motivation for multidisciplinary experimental research; good English skills; and an interest in analytical and kinetic studies. Experience with analytical methods is welcome.
Funding details: this is a 3-year doctoral contract with a gross monthly salary of 2,135 EUR.
Application window: the post indicates a September 2026 start in Nancy, France. The attached document says applications should be sent as a single PDF including a cover letter, CV, and academic transcripts in English to the listed supervisors.
