PhD in Hybrid Layered Double Hydroxide-Iron Oxide Nanomaterials for PFAS Adsorption
Investigate structural-reactivity relationships of hybrid nanomaterials for short and ultrashort PFAS adsorption.
Best for:Best for chemistry graduates with a strong background in materials science, nanomaterials synthesis, and environmental remediation.
Overview
The Université de Lorraine offers a funded doctoral position focused on developing hybrid layered double hydroxide-iron oxide nanomaterials. The research aims to understand structure-reactivity relationships for the adsorption of short and ultrashort PFAS contaminants. The selected candidate will conduct advanced materials synthesis, structural characterization, and adsorption performance evaluations within the C2MP doctoral school. The project is expected to generate high-impact scientific publications and contribute to environmental remediation strategies.
