PhD position: Novel nanofiltration membranes for contaminant removal Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is offering multiple PhD positions in solar-powered electrodialysis for brackish water treatment at the new Institute for Advanced Membrane Technology (IAMT), in collaboration with Prof. Bryce Richards (IMT). This research sits within the broader area of renewable energy-powered membrane processes and focuses on how electrodialysis can be adapted to fluctuating solar energy and non-steady-state operation. The project targets the removal of inorganic contam...

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is offering multiple PhD positions in photocatalytic membranes for contaminant removal at the Institute for Advanced Membrane Technology (IAMT) in Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, Germany. The project builds on ongoing research on photocatalytic membranes and will extend the work to novel materials and membrane preparation methods. The research is expected to be strongly experimental, with opportunities to combine experiments and modelling across molecular and pr...
