(01) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD Student in Electrochemical Degradation of Water Pollutants
For the Electrocatalysis and Interface group in the Electrochemistry Laboratory, we are looking for a PhD student. This project aims to understand the mechanisms of electrochemical oxidation processes for the removal of emerging contaminants in water and to develop next-generation electrocatalysts for water purification.
- Your work will focus on investigating the mechanisms of electrochemical oxidation process (EOP) for the removal of emerging contaminants in water via the generation of hydroxyl radicals
- Reaction intermediates and products will be analysed using a range of analytical chemistry techniques
- Advanced characterization methods, including synchrotron-based techniques, will be used to investigate materials under operating conditions and establish design principles for next-generation EOP electrocatalysts
- During your PhD, you will interact closely with colleagues within the electrochemistry department, the Swiss Light Source, and international collaborators
Deadline : 18 April 2026
(02) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

(03) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD Student for MiningBrines DC13: Modelling the evolution of geothermal waters during multi-resource extraction
The project “Modeling workflow development and application for fluid chemistry evolution from extraction to re-injection.” aims to advance the understanding and prediction of fluid behavior in complex geo energy systems from extraction to re-injection. A central objective is to quantify how geological, geochemical, and engineering factors jointly influence fluid composition and, ultimately, the efficiency of geothermal energy production together with extraction of critical minerals.
Deadline : April 30th, 2026
(04) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD Student for MiningBrines DC16: Pore-scale reactive transport modelling for utilization of geothermal reservoirs
The project “Reactive transport modeling (Hydraulic Chemical) at the pore scale and upscaling to reservoir scale” develops advanced pore scale reactive transport modeling capabilities by extending an in house lattice Boltzmann based transport solver to explicitly resolve microstructural evolution in reservoir rocks driven by mineral dissolution and precipitation. These simulations quantify how coupled flow, transport and chemistry processes cause dynamic changes in pore geometry, in transport properties, and reactive surface area under geothermal conditions.
Deadline : April 30th, 2026

About The Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Switzerland- Official Website
The Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) is a multi-disciplinary research institute for natural and engineering sciences in Switzerland. It is located in the Canton of Aargau in the municipalities Villigen and Würenlingen on either side of the River Aare, and covers an area over 35 hectares in size. Like ETH Zurich and EPFL, PSI belongs to the ETH Domain of the Swiss Confederation. The PSI employs around 3000 people. It conducts basic and applied research in the fields of matter and materials, human health, and energy and the environment. About 37% of PSI’s research activities focus on material sciences, 24% on life sciences, 19% on general energy, 11% on nuclear energy and safety, and 9% on particle physics.
PSI develops, builds and operates large and complex research facilities and makes them available to the national and international scientific communities. In 2017, for example, more than 2,500 researchers from 60 different countries came to PSI to take advantage of the concentration of large-scale research facilities in the same location, which is unique worldwide. About 1,900 experiments are conducted each year at the approximately 40 measuring stations in these facilities.
