EBIC Vacancies
Research Fellow in Anaerobic Fermentation
Applications are invited for Research Fellow position within the School of Engineering at the University of Southampton, working with the BBSRC-funded Environmental Biotechnology Innovation Centre. The work will involve laboratory-based development of mixed-culture fermentation of un-sterilised putrescible organic wastes using engineering biology and bioprocess engineering tools. This includes manipulating or modifying specific microbes in a consortium to increase interactions and enhance metabolic output by redirecting metabolic fluxes to maximise efficiency; and/or designing robust consortia with high tolerance for different types of environmental stress through adaptive laboratory evolution, along with knowledge of high-throughput analysis to understand community dynamics. The results will be written up as project deliverables and publications.
Location: Southampton Science Park, Chilworth
Salary: £36,130 to £38,249 per annum
Term: Full Time Fixed Term (2 years)
Closing Date: Friday 04 April 2025
