About this position

The University of Limerick is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in Hydrothermal Carbonisation within the Faculty of Science & Engineering and the Department of Chemical Science.

The researcher will join a four-year project developing an integrated sludge management system for European Union wastewater treatment plants. The project combines hydrothermal carbonisation with resource recovery to improve energy efficiency, nutrient management and compliance with EU directives concerning effluent, sludge and circularity.

The role will involve experimental hydrothermal carbonisation studies, management of process by-products and technology demonstration at higher technology-readiness levels. The researcher will also use process kinetics to model the relevant processes and support decision-making by wastewater treatment plant operators.

This is a multidisciplinary research environment involving an EU consortium focused on sustainable sludge management. The consortium will deliver open-access tools and policy recommendations intended to support more sustainable wastewater treatment and resource-recovery practices.

The post is associated with Professor Witold Kwapinski in the Department of Chemical Science at the University of Limerick.

Funding details

The position is a temporary, specific-purpose postdoctoral contract for a four-year project. The salary scale is €47,273–€53,925 per annum pro rata, with a maximum starting salary of €51,176 per annum pro rata.

What's required

Applicants should hold a PhD in chemical engineering, process engineering or a related discipline, with experience in hydrothermal carbonisation processing. Industrial experience from wastewater treatment plants is preferred. The application must include a letter of introduction, a current CV demonstrating how the candidate meets the job-description criteria, and a completed online application form.

How to apply

Apply online through the University of Limerick vacancies portal before 12 noon Irish Standard Time on 24 November 2026. Submit a letter of introduction, a current CV addressing the job-description criteria, and the completed online application form.
