We offer the opportunity to pursue a PhD in collaboration with a university and the Flemish government. These positions are created when we identify research questions that require the depth of a rigorous academic approach.
If you are passionate about advancing expertise in materials science, metallurgy, process technology or chemistry, we recommend first discussing your research project and ambitions with your university professor or academic supervisor. Together, you can explore potential directions that align with Umicore’s specialized areas and ongoing innovation needs.
Throughout your project, you will be mentored by our experts and gain access to our world-class research centers. This is a unique opportunity to see how high-level academic research is applied within a dynamic industrial environment.
Please note that the initiation of these PhD projects and the final selection criteria remain the responsibility of Umicore.
