Offer Description

Applications are open for 1 Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship(s), within the framework of project NGS – New Generation Storage/IN+, 1801P.01313, financed by the Resilience and recovery Plan (PRR)-IAPMEI

Workplan: The aim of this work is to study the selective extraction/recovery of Li, Co, Mn and Ni from solutions resulting from the leaching of black masses produced in the dismantling of end-of-life Li batteries. Thus, after producing the leachates, it is intended to study the processes for the selective recovery of metals by conventional liquid-liquid extraction, as well as using the inovative eutectic solvents for this purpose. It is also planned to do a  preliminary technical and economic evaluation of the use of eutectic solvents compared to conventional processes

Duration: The research fellowship(s) will have the duration of 12 months. It’s expected to begin in April 2024, and may be eventually renewed up to the maximum of 24 months.

It is mandatory to formalize applications with the submission of the following documents: i) B1 Form – Fellowship application (https://ist-id.pt/concursos/bolsas/ ); ii) Curriculum Vitae; iii)academic degree certificate; iv) motivation letter; v) declaration on honour that the applicant does not exceed with this contract an accumulated period of three years in this type of fellowship, continuously or with interruptions, within the technological and scientific system, and that the research work that led to the PhD degree was carried out in a different entity from the host institution of the fellowship.
