Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research in Germany invites application for vacant PhD and Postdoctoral Positions, UFZ covers both basic research and applied research
PhD Researcher (f/m/x) at the Department of Environmental Biotechnology
Within the FINEST project, a doctoral position is available for the sub-project MICROPLASTICS, which will address the bacterial conversion of synthetic polymer (plastics) fractions of fine-grained residues (microplastics) to yield valuable products and/or inert residues for safe deposition. In the PhD project, innovative bacterial biocatalysts acting on polymers and/or polymer additives will be isolated and characterised with respect to their catalytic performance. Bacterial strains to be newly isolated from soils taken from sites rich in brittle plastic waste, and already available bacterial strains will be investigated. Bacteria will be characterised physiologically, biochemically and genomically. The identification of biochemical tools the bacteria use for plastic degradation will be carried out with pure model polymers. Later, the behaviour with organic (polymer) fractions of real shredder fines will be tested in degradation experiments.
