PhD, Postdoctoral, and Master's/Semester Research Projects in Porous Materials and Sustainable Separations at EPFL École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland

PhD researcher opening in mixed-matrix membranes at Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena , within the collaborative project “Stimuli-responsive membranes for next generation separation processes” . The project focuses on designing functionalized polymeric materials combined with different filler materials, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) , to develop advanced membranes for separation applications. The work is carried out in collaboration with Ernst-Abbe-Hochschule (EAH) and Fraunhofer I...

ETH Zurich’s Laboratory of Energy Science and Engineering (LESE) is advertising a PhD position in Atomic-Scale Structure–Function Relationships in Separation Materials for Sustainable Processes . The project is funded by NCCR Separations and is centered on understanding how atomic structure controls the performance of separation materials for CO₂ capture and the recovery of critical elements such as lithium and cobalt from complex waste streams. The research is highly interdisciplinary and combi...
