About this position

The University of Luxembourg is offering a doctoral researcher position in water engineering and monitoring within the Horizon Europe PFAROS project. The PhD research will investigate the role of hospital wastewater in the pollution caused by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a group of persistent chemicals relevant to public health, environmental protection, and sustainable healthcare.

The doctoral researcher will examine whether hospital wastewater contributes to PFAS pollution and determine the extent of that contribution. The project will also assess whether functionalized membranes can effectively concentrate PFAS and reduce PFAS levels in wastewater, as well as identify suitable technologies for destroying the concentrated contaminants. Laboratory-scale and full-scale trials will be conducted under real-world conditions, providing experience across experimental water treatment, contaminant monitoring, membrane-based separation, and PFAS degradation.

The student will join the University of Luxembourg team guided by Dr. Silvia Venditti, Head of the ProWater Research Group in the Department of Engineering, in collaboration with Prof. Emma Schymanski, Head of the Environmental Cheminformatics Research Group at the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine. The research environment combines engineering, environmental chemistry, analytical investigation, materials, and data-driven approaches.

In addition to conducting the research, the doctoral researcher will contribute to technical reports and disseminate findings through conferences, seminars, and scientific articles. The position also includes participation in doctoral school courses and network training, with some involvement in education activities, leading toward a doctoral degree in engineering science.

The work is based at the Kirchberg Campus within the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine, in an international and interdisciplinary research environment connected with European institutions, industry, policy stakeholders, and environmental and healthcare partners.
