About this position

PhD opening at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Department of Engineering Structures, within the NWA-ORC ABEL project (Ab initio Biowaste Loop).

The project is focused on the development and durability assessment of recyclable bio-based binder systems for sustainable paving applications. The research combines experimental characterization with chemometrics and predictive modelling to understand how environmental conditions and mechanical loading affect long-term performance and recyclability.

This is a multidisciplinary consortium project involving academia, industry, policymakers, and societal partners, with the broader goal of creating high-value circular biomaterials from waste streams for applications ranging from asphalt paving to the built environment.

Suitable applicants should have a background in materials science, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field. The post is especially relevant for candidates interested in sustainable materials, infrastructure materials, bio-based binders, durability, and circular economy approaches.

Application deadline: 30 June 2026.

Apply via: the TU Delft job portal link provided in the post.
