Applications are invited for 3 PhD positions (“Early Stage Researchers”) to be funded by the Marie-Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network “GreenCarbon” within the Horizon 2020 Programme of the European Commission. GreenCarbon is a consortium of high profile universities, research institutions and companies located in Spain, Belgium, United Kingdom, Germany and Sweden. For these three positions the ESR will be registered at Queen Mary University of London within the group of ”Sustainable Carbon Materials” led by Professor Magdalena Titirici (https://titiricigroup.org/)

The Early Stage Researchers (ESR) will preferably have a degree in Chemistry.

Early- Stage Researchers (ESR) are those who are, at the time of recruitment by the host, in the first four years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers. This is measured from the date when they obtained the degree which formally entitles them to embark on a doctorate, either in the country in which the degree was obtained or in the country in which the research training is provided, irrespective of whether or not a doctorate was envisaged.

Researchers are required to undertake trans-national mobility (i.e. move from one country to another) when taking up the appointment. At the time of selection by the host organisation, researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of their host organisation for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to their recruitment. Short stays, such as holidays, are not taken into account.

If English is not your first language then you will require a valid English certificate equivalent to IELTS 6.5+ overall with a minimum score of 5.5 in all sections (Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking).
