Phd scholarships 2011
The Institute of Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology and Environmental Technology, Faculty of Engineering, University of Southern Denmark is seeking a highly motivated graduate for a PhD. fellowship within the topic of identifying and recovering critical resources in future waste flows
The aim of the PhD. project is to contribute to:
1) A methodology and criteria for identifying resources that are or can become critical to support future society. Some focus on metals is expected.
2) Identify and characterize emerging technologies for recovering energy and critical resources from selected waste streams. The role of thermal treatment such as gasification or pyrolysis in advanced energy and resource recovery should be explored.
3) Map and characterize existing and future waste streams focusing on their content of critical resources and their possible recovery.
4) Assess the technical, economic and environmental feasibility of selected techniques for resource recovery and potentially test them.

The PhD fellow will work in the interdisciplinary research field of Environmental engineering, Life Cycle Assessment, product design and resource management.
The fellowship is funded by and part of the large research program called TOPWASTE, financed by the Danish Council for Strategic Research, see the description of the program below, called TOPWASTE.
This fellowship is part of Work Package 2 of this program. Further, the fellowship will be established within the research training program ‘Energy and Environmentally Efficient Technologies' at the Faculty of Engineering at University of Southern Denmark, see link below, called EMT. Finally, the fellowship will be enrolled in the ph.d. research school called 3R, Residual Resources Research, see link below, called 3R. These multiple affiliations and networks of research will ensure a high degree of national and international co-operation with other researchers in the field.
Appointment as a PhD Research Fellow is for three or four years – expected to start august 1st, 2011. Employment stops automatically at the end of the period. The holder of the Fellowship is not allowed to have other paid employment during the period.
