PhD Opportunities in Industrial Engineering

This PhD project at the Department of Biosystems and Technology , Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), explores how green biomass from agriculture can be used more sustainably in integrated systems for green biorefineries and biogas production . The project is rooted in the transition toward a circular, fossil-independent bioeconomy and focuses on biomass sources such as crop residues and catch crops , which may be available without increasing competition for farmland and food prod...

CarbonLab at Aalborg University is seeking one or more PhD candidates to help advance Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies. The project addresses the scientific and engineering challenges that remain before DAC can be deployed at very large scale, with a focus on developing energy-efficient, economically viable systems built on a deeper understanding of how materials, processes and system integration interact. The PhD work is linked to two research directions: developing process-aware methods f...

This fellowship is based within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta and is hosted by the Division of Diabetes Translation , specifically the Surveillance, Epidemiology, Economics and Statistics Branch . The project offers training in the analysis of large population-based and healthcare databases to support CDC’s work on diabetes burden, prevention, treatment, and outcomes. The fellow will participate in epidemiologic and statistical research on diabetes prevalence, inciden...
