PHD position on Atomic-Scale Structure–Function Relationships in Separation Materials for Sustainable Processes

PHD position on Atomic-Scale StructureFunction Relationships in Separation Materials for Sustainable Processes

The (LESE, ETH Zürich) invites applications for a PhD position in the field of CO capture and critical element recovery, with a focus on atomic-scale structureperformance relationships in separation materials. This PhD position is funded by the National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) Separations, and is carried out under the co-supervision of Dr. Paula Abdala and Prof. Christoph R. Müller.

Project background

The aim of this project is to establish a fundamental understanding of how atomic structure governs selectivity, capacity, and stability in materials for CO capture and for the recovery of valuable elements such as lithium and cobalt from complex waste streams. These applications are key to enabling sustainable carbon management and circular resource use.
