Research Assistant, UCD Chemical and Bioprocess Engr, 12 months

Descrizione

Research Assistant, UCD Chemical and Bioprocess Engr, 12 months Sintesi in italiano (traduzione automatica): L'Università di Dublino (UCD) cerca un Assistente di ricerca per un progetto temporaneo di 12 mesi all'interno della Scuola di Ingegneria Chimica e Bioprocessuale. Il candidato selezionato lavorerà nel progetto BIOGRID, che si concentra sull'intensificazione della biometanazione ex-situ utilizzando idrogeno rinnovabile e CO₂. Le principali mansioni includono l'arricchimento microbico di archei metanogeni idrogenotrofici e la validazione di bioreattori ad alta efficienza. È richiesta una laurea in ingegneria chimica o un campo correlato. Questa posizione offre l'opportunità di contribuire a tecnologie innovative per la decarbonizzazione e di collaborare con l'industria. La scadenza per le candidature è il 14 luglio 2026. Applications are invited for a temporary post of a Research Assistant within UCD School of Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering. Applications are invited for the position of Research Assistant to join a multi-disciplinary team on the BIOGRID project. Ireland's Biomethane Strategy aims to produce 5.7 TWh of biomethane by 2030, and BIOGRID addresses this by intensifying ex-situ biomethanation using surplus renewable hydrogen and CO₂. The project leverages vortex-based hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) to intensify gas-liquid mass transfer and develops modular reactors using microbial biofilms of hydrogenotrophic methanogens. The successful candidate will be based at UCD and will focus on the microbial enrichment of hydrogenotrophic methanogenic archaea and the assembly and validation of high-efficiency intensified bioreactors. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge decarbonisation technology and work with strong industry connections.
