PhD Opportunities in Analytical Chemistry in Hungary

The Department of Chemistry for Life Sciences at Uppsala University is recruiting a PhD student for a project in analytical chemistry focused on developing novel methods for single-cell analysis and quantification using direct infusion mass spectrometry. The project is centered on optimizing sampling and ionization probes for the sensitive detection of metabolites and lipids from individual cells, with the aim of studying cellular heterogeneity. The work combines custom-built analytical platform...

This PhD opening is based in the Department of Biotechnology and Food Science at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, within the Microbial Biotechnology research division. The project is part of a larger NTNU-funded research effort on preparedness and response to antimicrobial resistance. It is embedded in the Bruheim research group, which works on deep phenotyping of prokaryotic and eukaryotic model systems using advanced cultivation technology and mass spectromet...

Fully Funded PhD Position in Water Resources Science is available at the University of Minnesota Duluth in the United States. The thesis will investigate how sediment and sunlight exposure influence the generation of 6PPD-quinone from tire wear particles, an emerging environmental contaminant relevant to water quality and pollution science. The project is associated with Dr. Bridget Ulrich and Dr. Melissa Mauerer-Jones in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Natural Resources Res...

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) invites applications for a full-time PhD Candidate position in Microbiology at the Department of Biotechnology and Food Science in Trondheim, Norway. The project is based in the Bruheim research group and forms part of the NTNU-funded initiative Preparedness and Response to AMR, the silent pandemic . Research will investigate emerging technologies for understanding the mode of operation and activity of synthetic and natural antibacterial ...

The University of Birmingham is offering a fully funded PhD studentship in biomimetic foldamers as a new class of sustainable catalysts , based in the School of Chemistry in Birmingham, United Kingdom. Foldamers are synthetic oligomers that adopt stable, bio-inspired conformations such as helices. Their solid forms have applications in materials science, supramolecular chemistry, and biological chemistry. Because foldamers are bio- and environmentally compatible and have modular, tuneable molecu...

A UNSW Scientia PhD Scholarship is available in the School of Chemistry at the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney), Australia, for research on AI-guided molecular recognition. The project combines native mass spectrometry, robotic chemistry and artificial intelligence to develop faster and more informative methods for discovering and characterising molecules that bind to proteins. The successful PhD researcher will contribute to multiplexed, multistage mass spectrometry, automated sample...

PhD Position in Environmental Contaminants and Microplastics The Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research (IDAEA-CSIC) is seeking a motivated predoctoral researcher for a PhD project on the analysis of environmental contaminants in water. The research combines field sampling, instrumental analysis, and data processing. The project will investigate the detection and characterisation of environmental contaminants, microplastics, and their associated additives, together with degrada...

The University of Copenhagen’s Analytical Chemistry group, in collaboration with Eurofins Environment, is recruiting an Industrial PhD candidate in Analytical Chemistry for the GALADRIEL project. The research focuses on advanced analytical methods for identifying and understanding micropollutants in wastewater. The PhD project will involve chromatography, high-resolution mass spectrometry—including LC-HRMS, SFC-HRMS, and GCxGC-MS—and the development of non-target screening (NTS) workflows. The c...

The University of Fribourg in Switzerland is offering a full-time, ERC-funded PhD position in the Department of Chemistry within Pascal Bertsch’s group and the ERC Starting Grant project GI-CORONA. The doctoral researcher will formulate lipid-based colloids, including emulsions, liposomes and lipid nanoparticles, and investigate how these systems digest in the gut and which proteins form their gastrointestinal “biocorona.” The project aims to use this knowledge to design improved oral drug-deliv...
