In the framework of the MSCA Doctoral Network for the development of Yeast-based solutions for sustainable Aviation Fuels (YAF), we are looking for a hands-on, no-nonsense PhD Candidate with a strong background and interest in the field of industrial biotechnology.
Particularly, we aim for a motivated Candidate for the PhD position (DC9) entitled "Production of SAF precursors in an industrially relevant environment: Sustainable recovery and downstream processes".
The ideal Candidate would hold, or be close to completing, a Master’s degree in Bioscience Engineering, Biotechnology, Chemical Engineering or a related field, and have previous research experience in bioprocess development and analytical techniques (e.g., HPLC, GC, TGA). Experience in experimental design, parameter optimisation, and statistical analysis is valued, as well as previous experience with pre-treatments, extraction and biocatalysis.
Further, all MSCA-DN specific eligibility conditions apply:
Mobility rule. Not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the recruiting beneficiary for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before the recruitment date.
Doctoral Candidate (DC) definition. Be — at the date of recruitment — a doctoral candidate (i.e. not already in possession of a doctoral degree).
