PhD Researcher in Bioprocess Engineering
19 hours ago
Luleå University of Technology is a leading institution in research and innovation, with a strong focus on sustainable development. We are currently seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team in Biochemical Process Engineering.
The successful candidate will be part of a vibrant research group working on the development of biochemical processes for the production and refinement of chemicals, fuels, and materials from biomass. The research subject focuses on using bio-based raw materials, such as forest residues, and developing processes for biorefineries.
As a PhD researcher, you will work on enzyme discovery, characterization, and improvement for application in Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage processes. This includes the development of ultra-stable promoters to increase CO2 capturing rates and removal efficiency of carbonate solutions.
The project aims to highlight the potential of carbonic anhydrase as a green promoter through the discovery, development, and application of ultra-stable enzyme variants. These variants will tolerate high temperatures and highly alkaline conditions, making them suitable for use as additives in carbonate solutions to improve performance.
We are looking for a highly motivated and skilled individual with a strong interest in research and development. You must have excellent communication and teamwork skills, as well as the ability to work independently. A master's degree in chemical engineering, industrial biotechnology, enzymology, or a relevant field is required.
Beyond your academic qualifications, we value hands-on experience in enzyme mining from genomes and/or metagenomic databases, enzyme discovery, enzyme improvement (directed evolution, rational design), and/or use of advanced bioinformatics tools. Previous experience with laboratory equipment and relevant practical experience, such as upstream and downstream enzyme production and enzyme assays, are also considered advantageous.
We offer a dynamic and inclusive work environment, with opportunities for professional growth and development. As a doctoral student, you will be trained in scientific thinking and writing, and will develop skills to identify, define, formulate, and solve problems of both practical and theoretical nature.
