Opened positions

Our lab takes a uniquely molecular approach to solving challenges in chemical recycling and the production of alternative fuels. We are also experts in advanced analytics for complex liquid samples. If you’re excited to explore how catalysts, polymers, and reaction pathways can turn waste into valuable resources, join us and help advance the circular economy!

We still have space for new undergraduates, graduate students, and PhD students for internships or final thesis work.

For details on vacancies, see the lists below.

  • Stay tuned, to be announced later this year.

  • For the upcoming HE project, we are looking for 2 PhD candidates

    The following topics are available:

    • Marine fuel production from HTL biocrude from wet biomass > (more details) <

    • Chemometric data processing from GC×GC analysis of alternative fuels and oils from thermochemical conversion of biomass and plastics > (more details) <

  • Thesis topics for the academic year 2026/2027

    • Chemical recycling of waste polycarbonate by reductive depolymerization

    • Valorization of olefins from waste polyethylene pyrolysis oil for the production of alkylated aromatics

    • Production of sustainable marine fuels from HTL oils made from wet biomass

    • Chemical recycling of waste textile using glycolysis and hydrolysis

    • Production of alternative aviation fuels from aqueous phase from pyrolysis of waste biomass

    • Isolation of limonene from tire pyrolysis oil
