Crynodeb
Applicants are invited for a Research Fellow position to investigate microbially-mediated power-to-methane systems.
You will develop continuous laboratory and pilot-scale systems for biological production of methane at high concentrations through modification of conventional anaerobic digestion processes. The research is intended to design scalable reactors for such systems, assess the optimum conditions and the performance limitations and develop real-time process control strategies, in collaboration with other project partners.
You must demonstrate a sound understanding of anaerobic digestion and CO2 biomethanisation, coupled with a good knowledge of quantitative analytical techniques and bioreactor kinetic models. A hands-on approach and strong skills in experimental rig design and process operation & control are essential, along with a keen interest in developing new ideas from proof-of-principle to implementation.
You must have a PhD or equivalent professional qualifications and experience in environmental or chemical engineering or biotechnology.
Informal enquiries are welcomed and should be directed Dr Yue Zhang: Y.Zhang@soton.ac.uk. To apply, please also submit
Cover letter maximum one page in length, proposing how you plan to carry out this research
CV, detailing how your skills and experience match the requirements of the role
As a university we aim to create an environment where everyone can thrive and are proactive in fostering a culture of inclusion, respect and equality of opportunity. We believe that we can only truly meet our objectives if we are reflective of society, so we are passionate about creating a working environment in which you are free to bring your whole self to work.
