PhD in transforming excavated soil into resources for low-carbon concrete at IMT Nord Europe IMT Nord Europe in France

INSA Rennes in France is recruiting a PhD candidate for research on recycled rubble concrete in reinforced concrete structures . The project focuses on a material that is described as environmentally promising but still less explored in France. This opportunity is centered in civil engineering and materials science , with a sustainability angle that may also interest applicants working on environmental science , concrete technology, structural materials, and construction recycling. The position ...

The Circular Process Engineering Laboratory (CPEL) at Dalhousie University is offering a fully funded PhD position focused on catalytic pyrolysis for sustainable biofuel production. This research opportunity is ideal for candidates interested in designing, synthesizing, and characterizing novel catalysts, optimizing pyrolysis reaction pathways, and advancing thermochemical conversion strategies to upgrade biomass and waste-derived feedstocks into value-added fuels and chemicals. The project will...

Post-doctoral position in reactive transport modelling of a flotation reactor at BRGM (France). This 24-month full-time postdoctoral contract is hosted by the French Geological Survey (BRGM) in Orléans, within the Geophysics and Surface Remote Sensing unit of the Subsurface Knowledge and Geomodelling Department. The project is part of the PEPR Sous-sol MINFLOT initiative and focuses on multi-physical and multi-scale modelling to improve the recovery of rare and critical metals from mineral flota...
