Postdoc Opportunities in Sustainable Materials in Finland

The University of Birmingham’s School of Metallurgy and Materials is seeking a postdoctoral Research Fellow to work on Project PASTY: Preparing Affordable LFP to meet Sustainability Targets for Years. Funded by the Faraday Institution and conducted in collaboration with Cornish Lithium, the project aims to develop a cost-effective route for producing commercial lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cathode active material from lithium sourced from geothermal waters. The researcher will contribute to ...

DAAD ERA Fellowships for Green Hydrogen support researchers and interns from the Extended European Research Area to carry out research stays in Germany on green hydrogen. The programme is centred on work related to green hydrogen production , infrastructure , and market working groups , making it a good fit for candidates interested in the technical and system-level development of low-carbon hydrogen. The opportunity is offered by the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD) and is designed...

HIPOLE Jena , the Helmholtz Institute for Polymers in Energy Applications, is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for the E-CO-Swing project on energy-efficient CO₂ capture by electric swing adsorption (ESA). The project addresses unavoidable CO₂ emissions from sources such as cement production and waste-to-energy plants. Its research strategy combines the development of non-corrosive, thermally stable, carbon-based adsorbent materials with the design of controllable and energy-efficient ESA react...

Mohammed VI Polytechnic University’s International Water Research Institute (IWRI) is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for an interdisciplinary program on bioinspired, circular-economy-driven materials for sustainable agriculture. The project focuses on converting multi-source renewable biomass, including marine and lignocellulosic feedstocks, into next-generation supramolecular and biobased materials. These systems will be designed to improve water retention, soil hydration, nutrient stabiliza...

Colorado School of Mines is seeking three postdoctoral researchers for a project on sustainable construction materials derived from red mud and residual materials such as mine tailings from critical mineral recovery. The work focuses on turning untreated red mud and treated residual powder into valuable products including supplementary cementitious materials, lightweight aggregates, geopolymer bricks, and related construction materials. Each postdoctoral researcher will concentrate on one produc...

New Jersey Institute of Technology is seeking a postdoctoral research associate to join a multidisciplinary effort on electric vehicle and hybrid electric vehicle battery recycling, reuse, and remanufacturing. The project centers on understanding the science and technology behind end-of-life battery management in New Jersey and the Northeast, with an emphasis on building a regional picture of how batteries can move through reuse, recycling, and remanufacturing pathways. The successful researcher...

Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is recruiting a Research Fellow (Flow Chemistry) , a postdoctoral research position in Chemical Engineering within the School of Materials Science and Engineering. The position is part of the Decarbonisation Programme, “Singapore Max-Planck Alliance for the Sustainable Conversion of Biomass.” The successful researcher will work on optimizing biomass extraction, scaling up flow processes, and improving sustainable biomass conversion systems. Respon...

Postdoctoral Researchers/Instructors in Molecular Engineering are being advertised at the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, University of Chicago. This is a research-and-teaching postdoctoral opportunity for prospective postdoc candidates interested in combining laboratory or group research with undergraduate/graduate instruction. The successful candidate will conduct research under the mentorship of a PME faculty advisor and teach or co-teach two required PME courses. The position is co...

Durham University’s Department of Engineering is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate in onboard carbon capture and storage within the UK Clean Maritime Research Hub , with financial support from the Department for Transport and EPSRC . The role is based in the Energy Systems Group led by Professor Tony Roskilly and focuses on policy-driven research on the life cycle greenhouse gas intensity of marine fuels. The project is a strong fit for researchers interested in onboard carbon capture...
