Applications are invited for fourteen Doctoral Candidates (DCs) positions in the field of recycling of composites, leading to the award of a PhD degree. The recruited researchers will be trained for 3 years to become interdisciplinary and multi-talented experts. The researchers will have a unique opportunity to be trained by world-leading experts in cutting-edge technologies, supported by a strong network and extensive industry participation. Please note that some of the positions are hosted by an industrial partner. In this case, the researcher will also be enrolled in a PhD program at a university. Finally, note that the positions will not be opened at the same time: we expect the last position to open in September 2024.
