About this position

The University of Utah is seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join an ongoing research project focused on rare earth element (REE) extraction, separation, and recovery.

The research addresses critical mineral processing through approaches related to hydrometallurgy, chemical separations, adsorption, solvent extraction, and electrochemistry. The project is suited to students interested in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science, Metallurgical Engineering, and closely related areas.

The student will join the research environment led by faculty member Prashant Sarswat at the University of Utah and contribute to work on technologies for recovering and separating rare earth elements. The project offers an opportunity to develop research experience in chemical processing and critical-mineral recovery.

Applicants with relevant academic preparation and research experience are encouraged to express interest, with particular consideration for candidates able to join at the earliest possible date.
