2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Sedimentary Geochemistry: Investigating the Impact of Calcifying Plankton on Oceanic Carbonate Production
Description of PhD Program:
The emergence of calcifying plankton in the oceans has led to a significant shift in carbonate production, moving from shallow seas to the open marine realm. This transition has had profound effects on the carbonate saturation and buffering capacities of the oceans. During the Late Triassic, key organisms underwent evolution while the supercontinent Pangea began breaking up, resulting in extensive tectonic reorganizations, changes in weathering patterns, and nutrient enrichment. The project aims to enhance our understanding of the link between changes in seawater chemistry, their underlying causes, and the emergence of planktonic calcification.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Energy Sciences: Transformative Research in Sustainable Aviation Fuels
Summary of PhD Program:
In the Circular Fuels project, funded by the European Union and involving nine organizations from seven EU countries, our aim is to integrate concentrated solar heat (CSH), solar electrical energy from PV panels, and thermochemical conversion of bio-based waste materials. This integration will enable the production of sustainable transportation fuels for aviation. By utilizing solar energy, we eliminate the need to burn pyrolysis by-products for process heating, allowing us to repurpose these by-products. Our primary goal is to maximize the fraction of jet fuel and kerosene, while exploring other component fractions that could serve as viable transportation fuel products, ultimately maximizing the concept's profitability.
