About this position
Leiden University is advertising a funded PhD position in biocatalytic depolymerization of new biopolymers within the newly funded national NWA-ORC project ABEL (Ab-initio Biowaste Loop), supported by the Dutch Research Council (NWO).
The project sits in a large multidisciplinary consortium involving industry, academia, policymakers, and societal partners. Its broader aim is to help close material loops in the Dutch bioeconomy by developing high-value, sustainable, circular biomaterials from low-value waste streams that can compete with or outperform traditional alternatives.
This PhD opportunity is especially relevant for candidates interested in chemistry, biocatalysis, biopolymers, materials science, and the circular bioeconomy. The specific subprogramme focuses on the closed-loop recycling of biopolymer products developed in ABEL.
The post is announced by Professor Lars Jeuken at the Leiden Institute of Chemistry, Leiden University. The post explicitly states that the position is funded, but no stipend amount, tuition details, or deadline are included in the provided text.
Interested applicants should read the full vacancy page for the complete project description, eligibility criteria, and application instructions, then apply through the Leiden University careers portal.
