About this position
FAroGels is recruiting a Doctoral Candidate (DC4) for a PhD position in semi-automated supercritical CO₂ drying, aerogel processing, and data-driven control at Superex in Konya, Türkiye, with the PhD awarded by Selçuk University (Department of Physics). The project sits within the EU-funded Horizon Europe MSCA Doctoral Networks programme and focuses on reproducible structures for food-grade, bio-based, and biodegradable aerogels.
The research combines equipment design and instrumentation, laboratory experimentation, process monitoring, and machine-learning-based optimisation of drying trajectories. The successful candidate will help build a semi-automated supercritical CO₂ dryer, collect process datasets, analyse aerogel density/pore structure/mechanical properties, and contribute to standardised drying protocols across the network.
Funding: full-time 36-month employment contract, with MSCA living, mobility, and family allowances. The post includes social-security coverage and structured doctoral training, plus secondments at partner organisations in Spain, the United Kingdom, and Germany.
Eligibility highlights: Master’s degree or equivalent in chemistry, materials science, food technology, physics, or nanotechnology/advanced materials; strong lab and analytical skills; fluent English; willingness to travel; and MSCA mobility/doctoral-candidate eligibility. A Turkish-language requirement applies for PhD enrolment at Selçuk University unless exempted.
Deadline: 9 December 2026, 23:59 (CET). Apply via the FAroGels portal and note that a separate university PhD admission/enrolment procedure is also required.
