Postdoctoral Research Fellow Positions in Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling University of Birmingham in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity in programmable DNA nanotechnology for the selective recovery of critical and rare elements at The University of Edinburgh . The project is jointly supervised by Davide Michieletto and Jason Love and explores how DNA nanostructures could enable more selective, reusable, and sustainable recovery of rare-earth elements and other rare and precious metals. These elements are important for electronics, permanent magnets, and low-carbon technologies, but their clean separation and recy...

Bath Engineering & Design Studentships at the University of Bath are offering a PhD project on mechanochemistry for low-carbon cements . The project sits in the Department of Architecture & Civil Engineering and is supervised by Dr Ilda Tole and Prof Susan Bernal Lopez . This research explores how mechanochemical activation can turn abundant but low-reactivity minerals, excavated clays, and industrial residues into reactive cementitious materials. The project will study how mineralogy, crystal s...
