Summary
The successful candidate will join a dynamic marine biotechnology team focused on the ‘up-cycling’ of marine waste streams into high value metabolites and products (such as lipids and pigments). This research will focus on developing novel cultivation strategies for marine heterotrophic protists grown on different waste streams, optimising growth and metabolite production. Additionally, the role will use proteomics to analyse the extracellular enzyme composition of the different marine protists and may use genomic data to ‘reverse-engineer’ cultivation media design.
