PhD Position in PHA-Cellulose Composite Materials and Polymer Processing Wetsus in Netherlands

Laboratory of Food Process Engineering at Wageningen University & Research shares an update about a new postdoc in the Horizon Europe-funded Air2Food project. The research focus is sustainable downstream processing strategies for gas-based precision fermentation in Europe, connecting food process engineering, future foods, and protein innovation. This post is not an open call for applications; it is a congratulatory announcement about Aryo Nugroho starting his postdoc after completing his PhD at...

PhD opening at Wetsus in flagship sustainable-by-design circular composite bioplastics , focused on polymer science , chemical engineering , and materials science . The project sits within the Wetsus research theme Biopolymers from Water and the newly funded EU project SOWISE+ . The research aims to develop tools to predict and control property specifications of cellulose composites made with co-polymer blends of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHA-based bioplastics). The work conn...

Wetsus, the European centre of excellence for sustainable water technology, is offering a funded PhD project on flagship sustainable by design circular composite bioplastics . The position is part of the newly funded EU project SOWISE+ and sits within the Biopolymers from Water research theme. The project focuses on developing methods to produce, recover, and upgrade polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) into high-value biobased composite materials for circular economy applications. The research addresse...

Wetsus is advertising PhD project 2026.19, “Beyond the boundaries of phosphate desorption: Uncovering the surface chemistry behind phosphate-iron (hydr)oxide sorption.” The project is centered on surface chemistry , chemical engineering , materials science , and environmental science , with a strong focus on phosphate removal and regeneration in wastewater treatment. The research investigates how phosphate is adsorbed and desorbed on iron (hydr)oxide-based adsorbents, why regenerant solutions ar...
