Sustainable Materials Professors and Supervisors in Spain

🔬 PhD opportunities at IETcc-CSIC for 2027 entry in Madrid, Spain. Dr Maria Criado and Yibing Zuo are inviting prospective PhD students to join research at the Eduardo Torroja Institute for Construction Sciences (IETcc), part of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). The project area is sustainable construction materials, with a strong focus on low-carbon binders made from industrial and other solid mineral wastes. Research themes include waste-derived alkali-activated materials and geopo...

A PhD Fellowship in Chemistry is available in the Polymerization Processes Group at the Basque Center for Macromolecular Design and Engineering, POLYMAT Fundazioa, in Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain. The project focuses on the development and fundamental understanding of emulsion polymerization processes. Emulsion polymerization is widely used industrially to produce polymer latexes, yet it remains a complex heterogeneous system that is still not fully understood. This PhD will address key scienti...

The Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ), in partnership with the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV), is offering a fully funded PhD position in chemistry for the 2026 third call. The project is supervised by Prof. Arjan Kleij and focuses on the design, synthesis and application of circular polymers . The research will investigate the catalytic preparation of new polymer systems using both covalent and non-covalent polymerization techniques, with an emphasis on circularity, recycli...
