The Technische Universität Dortmund is announcing first PhD positions in the new DFG Research Training Group TALENT – TolerAnt sustainabLe EfficieNT . The programme focuses on sustainable (bio)chemical engineering and interdisciplinary research aimed at developing robust and flexible processes for the chemical industry that can handle fluctuating renewable feedstocks and energy sources while maintaining high efficiency. Doctoral researchers will work across nine interconnected projects covering molecular catalysis , bioprocesses , reaction engineering , separation technology , process systems engineering , and techno-economic evaluation . The training environment includes an extensive qualification programme designed to prepare candidates for careers in academia, industry, and entrepreneurship. This opportunity is aimed at outstanding Master's students or recent graduates interested in a PhD in chemical engineering and related fields. The post does not specify detailed entry requirements, funding amounts, or language-test conditions, but it clearly indicates that applications are now open. Interested applicants should review the project descriptions, application instructions, and deadlines on the programme website linked in the post comments. If you are considering a PhD in sustainable chemical engineering, biochemical engineering, catalysis, process engineering, or techno-economic analysis, this is a strong interdisciplinary opportunity at TU Dortmund.
