PhD position summary/title: PhD student in Wastewater engineering/Biotechnology/Data analysis – micropollutants
In this PhD project, you will analyse the removal of organic micropollutants (OMPs) from wastewater in biological activated carbon filters.
Wastewater treatment plants are significant sources of OMPs in the environment. Granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption has emerged as a key removal process. In addition to adsorption, biodegradation by the biofilm that develops on the granule surfaces plays an important role—sometimes enhancing, sometimes impairing the removal efficiency.
Despite the importance of the combined effect of adsorption and biodegradation, little is currently known about their interaction. This project aims to fill that knowledge gap by:
- Operating laboratory-scale GAC filters
- Sampling from full-scale filters
- Assessing how dissolved organic matter and microbial community composition affect OMP removal
- Investigating the spatial localization of OMPs and their transformation products within biofilm and GAC matrix
- Analysing biofilm structure and microbial communities

PhD position summary/title: PhD student position in occupational traffic safety and comfort
The Ph.D. project will deal with occupational traffic safety, with a focus on the car driving behavior of employees who drive as part of their job but are not professional drivers. Lack of knowledge, training, stress, fatigue, and poorly designed work schedules can contribute to traffic accidents leading to injuries or fatalities. Everyday driving in suboptimal static postures may also lead to musculoskeletal problems. Discomfort can contribute to physical, psychological, and functional issues, as well as improper use of safety systems.
Target groups include personnel in healthcare and social services, tradespeople in the service and construction industries, and sales representatives in technology development companies. The outcome is to develop strategies that enhance employees’ traffic safety knowledge and behavior, and practical tools to help integrate traffic safety into occupational health and safety practices, ultimately reducing the risk of work-related driving injuries.

About Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden –Official Website
Chalmers University of Technology is a Swedish university located in Gothenburg that focuses on research and education in technology, natural sciences, architecture, mathematics, maritime and other management areas.
The university was founded in 1829 following a donation by William Chalmers, a director of the Swedish East India Company. He donated part of his fortune for the establishment of an “industrial school”. Chalmers was run as a private institution until 1937, when the institute became a state-owned university. In 1994, the school was incorporated as an aktiebolag under the control of the Swedish Government, the faculty and the Student Union. Chalmers is one of only three universities in Sweden which are named after a person, the other two being Karolinska Institutet and Linnaeus University.
