PhD Scholarships, Institute of Chemical Engineering Sciences, Stavros Niarchos Foundation

The Institute of Chemical Engineering Sciences (ICE-HT) of the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH), in the framework of the project ARCHERS, which is funded by an exclusive donation of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, is seeking to recruit one Ph.D. candidate. The project aims at reducing or even reversing the brain drain by providing high quality research opportunities to young scientists of Greek origin.

The Stavros Niarchos Foundation – FORTH fellows are expected to perform high quality research within one of the research areas, in which FORTH/ICE-HT excels both on the national and the international level (www.iceht.forth.gr). More specifically, the domains of interest in the present project are the preservation of cultural heritage and the science and innovation in the areas of environment, clean energy and health.

Title of research assignment: Resource recovery from wastewater streams

Job Description
The research work concerns the following: recovery of nitrogen and phosphorous as well as biomass from landfill
leachate and/or agro-industrial (dairy, olive mill waste) wastewater will be the target recovered products.
Nitrogen, phosphorous and biomass could be used as fertilizers or composts and alleviate nutrients deficiency in
Europe. Adsorption, biological filters, electrochemical oxidation, and constructed wetlands will be tested for the
recovery of useful products and the integrated management of landfill leachate and/or agro-industrial wastewater.

Eligibility Criteria
- B.Sc. degree in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering
- M.Sc. degree in Green Chemistry and New Technologies or closely related subject
- Good knowledge of Greek and English language
