Core activities will include day-to-day support to experimental laboratory activities, training of other PhD and MSc students working in the Lab, experimental data analysis and report writing, support to publication writing. The Applicant must have at least a MSc, with PhD desirable, in a relevant discipline such as Chemical/Biochemical/Environmental Engineering or Microbiology.
