PhD in Sustainable Photocatalysis for Plastic Recycling Eindhoven University of Technology in Netherlands

Eindhoven University of Technology is recruiting a PhD candidate for a project on the synthesis of sustainable, PFAS-free polymers for high-performance applications . The research addresses the need for fluorine-free alternatives to fluorinated polymers and PFAS in demanding uses such as sealing systems, automotive and aerospace components, chemical-processing equipment, and other high-durability applications. The project will involve designing and synthesizing novel fluorine-free thermoplastic ...

The Laboratory of Synthetic Polymer Chemistry (LCPS) at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, led by Professor Suong Nguyen, is inviting applications for a fully funded PhD position in Synthetic Polymer Chemistry. The research group focuses on the interface of polymer chemistry, catalysis, and synthetic organic chemistry, aiming to develop new polymerization methods, discover new reactivities, and create functional and sustainable polymers. This four-year PhD position...

The Center for the Transformation of Chemistry (CTC) in Leipzig is a newly founded national research hub in Germany focused on rethinking chemistry for global sustainability challenges. The PhD project sits in the Sofiadis group and is part of a collaborative, mission-driven research environment that brings together chemistry, physics, engineering, data science, and social sciences. This doctorate will focus on the development of sustainable organic photocatalysts for facilitating organic reacti...

PhD position available at BOKU University in Tulln, Austria (near Vienna) on green polymers from plant oils . The project, From Mixtures to Models: Plant-Oil Polymer Networks , is FWF-funded and aims to understand how the molecular structure of plant oils influences the properties of the resulting polymers. The research will involve synthesizing well-defined building blocks from plant oils, converting them into polymer networks, and characterizing their properties. This opportunity is well suite...

Two postdoctoral positions are available in the research group of Aurelio Mateo-Alonso at POLYMAT, University of the Basque Country. The post is brief and does not include detailed project descriptions, funding terms, eligibility criteria, or an application deadline. The research context appears to be in chemistry, with a strong materials/polymer science angle, and the group’s interests include ⌬ derivatives. This is a postdoctoral opportunity rather than a PhD or master’s call. Interested candi...
