Key Tasks:
  • Determine the physical properties of nanoplastics through experimental measurements.
  • Conduct experiments using a bench-scale membrane filtration system to quantify nanoplastic retention during permeation and backwash.
  • Analyze data and contribute to writing a joint research publication in English.
Requirements

To be eligible, you should have a strong background in Chemical, Process, or Environmental Engineering, as well as excellent writing skills in English. Experience with OriginLab for data analysis and EndNote for literature management is desirable.

What We Offer

This project provides a unique opportunity to conduct independent research under the guidance of our international team. You will have access to our state-of-the-art laboratories and equipment. A competitive salary of €35,000 per annum reflects the importance we place on this position. Benefits include flexible working hours and opportunities for professional development.
