MSCA 2026 Postdoctoral Fellowship opportunity in the Alexander Dömling group at Palacký University Olomouc / CATRIN, connected to the REEactor deep-tech initiative. The project focuses on critical raw materials , especially rare earth elements and other critical metals, with research spanning chemical engineering , organic/inorganic chemistry , materials science , hydrometallurgy , separation science , and automation/robotics/high-throughput experimentation . The successful candidate will co-develop a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship 2026 proposal with the group. The research direction is centered on advanced ligand-based materials and automated workflows for the recovery and separation of rare earths and other critical metals from complex feedstocks, including recycling streams, industrial residues, and mining-related sources. Eligibility highlights: applicants should already hold a PhD, show strong motivation for interdisciplinary research, and be eligible for an MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship, including the mobility rule . How to apply: send a CV, short motivation statement, brief expertise summary, current country of residence, and PhD date to [email protected] . The post does not state a fixed deadline in the announcement. Academic context: the group is backed by two ERC grants, indicating a strong research environment for postdoctoral work in separation science, circular economy, and deep-tech materials processing.
