Research fellow in biomethanisation of CO2

Applicants are invited for a Research Fellow position to investigate microbially-mediated power-to-gas systems.

You will investigate microbially-mediated power-to-gas systems and develop continuous laboratory-scale systems for biological production of methane at high concentrations both from gas-fed bioreactors and through modification of conventional anaerobic digestion.  The research is intended to assess the optimum conditions and the performance limitations and to link these with metabolic functionality and control, in collaboration with other consortium partners.

The post funded by a BBSRC IB Catalyst grant with partners in the Universities of York and Sheffield.

CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS IS 11 June 2015.

Informal enquiries are welcome and can be directed to Prof Charles Banks: cjb@soton.ac.uk
