Texas A&M University is seeking a PhD student for an enology and sensory science project beginning in January 2027. The research will address wine quality issues relevant to the Texas wine industry through applied work combining wine chemistry, sensory evaluation, and fermentation science. Under the guidance of Dr. Andreea Botezatu in the Department of Horticultural Sciences, the student will investigate factors affecting wine quality and contribute to research with direct relevance to regional ...

The University of Copenhagen’s Globe Institute is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to advance mass-spectrometry-based palaeoproteomics. The project targets ancient protein traces preserved in fossil material, including remains more than one million years old, with the goal of recovering longer and higher-quality amino-acid sequences for improved phylogenetic reconstruction of extinct hominids and other fossil taxa. The postdoc will develop novel workflows spanning sample preparation, chromatogr...

This postdoctoral research position is part of the Grand Programme de Recherche Post-Petroleum Materials (PPM) at Université de Bordeaux. The project aims to rethink materials chemistry through a circular chemistry approach that improves durability, reduces energy use, minimizes waste, and promotes the use of bio-resources, recycling, and in situ monitoring of material use and degradation. The research focuses on the development of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) built from organic aromatic r...
