The Centre for Environmental and Marine Studies (CESAM) at the University of Aveiro has announced the opening of applications for two research grants as part of the REUSE Project – Enzymatic CO2 Capture in a Rotating Packed Bed and Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to Useful Projects (no.101172954) a groundbreaking initiative focused on CO₂ capture and electrocatalytic reduction to useful products.
This Horizon Europe initiative, funded by the European Union, aims to develop innovative environmental engineering solutions to address climate change. The project will investigate the use of enzymatic CO₂ capture in a rotating packed bed and its subsequent conversion into valuable materials.
Details of the Research Grants
CESAM is offering two full-time research scholarships, each tailored for highly motivated individuals pursuing a PhD:
- One position with an 18-month duration
- One position with a 30-month duration
Both positions offer a monthly stipend of €1,309.64 and will be based at the University of Aveiro. The selected candidates will work under the supervision of Professor Valter Bruno Reis e Silva, contributing to computational simulations, system optimization, and experimental testing.
Who Can Apply?
The opportunity is open to students enrolled in doctoral programs related to Sciences and Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics Engineering, Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Refining, Petrochemistry, or Chemistry Engineering. Applicants should have a strong academic background, research experience, and proficiency in English.
How to Apply
Applications are open from 19 February 2025 to 11 March 2025.
Interested candidates must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, qualification certificates, and other relevant documents via email to v.b.silva@ua.pt
