Join us as a EUTOPIA Co-tutelle PhD researcher in Autumn 2023

The EUTOPIA European University alliance brings ten European universities aiming to become by 2025 an open, multicultural, confederated operation of connected campuses. In June 2019, the "EUTOPIA-2050" programme was chosen as one of the initial 17 winning projects of the new European Universities Initiative competitive call launched by the European Commission to build a European Higher Education Area.

Together with 9 other universities, Warwick University forms this alliance.

We are now looking for a EUTOPIA co-tutelle PhD researcher to join us in the Autumn of 2023 and develop with us an exciting joint research program together with the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB).

This EUTOPIA collaboration brings together two internationally renowned research teams, BonLab from prof. dr. ir. Stefan Bon at Warwick University (UK) and the team of prof. dr. ir. Gert Desmet at VUB (Belgium). They have an underlying shared and solid foundation in chemical engineering, but with distinct different scientific areas of expertise.

This specific PhD project will provide a synergistic step-change in the development of stationary phases for device-based separation science. The overall aim is to fabricate next generation supracolloidal liquid chromatography devices that have a stationary phase of colloidal objects of bespoke shape, morphology, chemical characteristics, and physical properties, with control of their spatial arrangement within the device. Application areas will include analysis of soil and aqueous natural environments.

Please contact prof. dr. ir. Stefan Bon directly if you are interested by email (s.bon@warwick.ac.uk), with your CV, academic transcript and motivation letter.

Application deadlines is strictly 9 May 2023. It is adviced to contact us well before that date as we have to submit the EUTOPIA application on your behalf.
