PhD Positions in Membrane Science and Molecular Engineering, EU Project Photobrane, Calabria, Italy
We announce three fully-funded PhD Positions in Membrane Science and Molecular Engineering under the EU Project: PhotoBrane – Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network (Horizon-MSCA-2023-DN-01) opened by the Institute on Membrane Technology (CNR-ITM) and the University of Calabria, in Italy.
The European project PhotoBrane – “Photo-switchable ultra-thin membranes for molecular separation”. is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network (MSCA-DN) aiming to train a new generation of researchers in advanced materials and gas separation, combining experimental and computational approaches.
More info on the Project PhotoBrane is available at the following link
The CNR-ITM is seeking motivated Doctoral Researchers to join its internationally recognized membrane science group. Successful candidates will develop and study light-responsive membranes, employing both experimental and computational approaches with applications in energy, environmental protection, and gas purification.
