About this position

This PhD position at BIOWEG GmbH focuses on the development of biopolymer-based seed coatings. The successful candidate will work on modifying cellulose-based materials and formulating biodegradable coatings, with the aim of evaluating them in greenhouse trials and moving the technology toward practical agricultural use.

The project sits within AGRIPOLYS, a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Network dedicated to innovative and sustainable polymeric materials for agriculture. The network combines advanced polymer chemistry, materials science, and application-oriented research to address performance, sustainability, and environmental impact in polymer-based agricultural technologies.

Research training is described as interdisciplinary and intersectoral, bringing together academic and industrial partners. The doctoral environment includes international secondments, network-wide training activities, scientific workshops, transferable skills courses, collaborative research events, and opportunities to present at conferences and publish results.

The position is based at BIOWEG and is framed as a research role with close collaboration across the AGRIPOLYS network, offering exposure to complementary scientific expertise, advanced facilities, and different research environments.
