One Answer:
No, not within the GUI version of Wireshark. But you can use dumpcap and the scheduler of your OS (windows scheduler, Unix cron, etc.) to start the capturing process. To stop the capturing process you can use the scheduler to kill the dumpcap process, or the built-in functionality of dumpcap to stop the capture process after some time.
