PDRA in Seaweed Bioprocess Intensification Development

4 weeks ago

London, United Kingdom UCL Eastman Dental Institute Full time

About the role

Applications are invited to join a multidisciplinary programme of research that aims to establish a UK seaweed bioeconomy built on integrated biorefinery technologies. The primary role of the PDRA will be to lead on the creation of new reactor designs and bioproduct recovery strategies to intensify processes that can be embedded within seaweed biorefineries. The postholder will be required to conduct research in prototype development, and apply process and parameter optimization using statistical parametric study software (such as Design of Experiments) to optimize bioproduct recovery. The work will also address the identification of compatible intensification downstream separation processing techniques for target bioproducts of interest. Any biomass/bioproduct handling, bioproduct screening and analytical chemistry expertise will be beneficial but not essential, as such training will be provided to the postholder. Key deliverable for this research is the bioprocess evaluation to determine the most feasible overall process route and economic feasibility. The postholder will also have the opportunity to benefit from Responsible Research and Innovation, and Policy training to complement their research skillset, and to participate as a research representative in workshops with seaweed bioeconomy stakeholders.

About you

You will hold a PhD (or be about to be awarded a PhD) in a relevant discipline, Biochemical/Chemical Engineering, and ideally possess experience in one or more of the following areas: reactor design, transport phenomena, separation processes, or materials processing. You’ll have the ability to generate, analyze and document experimental data through efficient project management and creative problem solving. An ability to collaborate within a multi-disciplinary team is essential. We want to give people opportunity for development and this role is one where we could consider a wide range of different skills and experiences. Whilst all candidates must meet the essential criteria in order to be shortlisted, we actively encourage candidates who may not meet all of the desirable criteria to apply as we consider these to be areas the successful candidate can grow within the role.
