1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Theoretical and Experimental Investigations of the Enzyme-Catalysed Degradation of Water-Soluble Polymers
Summary of PhD Program:
Biodegradable polymers must break down into defined metabolic end-points, without pollution or deleterious effects, within a reported timeframe. Within the consumer goods industry and regulatory frameworks, standard proxy tests are used to validate the ultimate biodegradability of formulation ingredients. Although the formulation polymers currently used commercially are assessed as being safe, many of them are non-biodegradable against these standards. Globally, consumer and regulatory pressure is driving a migration towards polymers that do not remain in the environment.
Application Deadline: 15 November 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Mitigating climate impacts and enhancing local marine ecosystem services through the scaling of integrated kelp and shellfish aquaculture
Summary of PhD Program:
This exciting and innovative project aims to address climate change impacts and improve coastal ecosystem services using an Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) approach using kelp and mussels. In industry, there are pressing needs to investigate new systems of ingredient and material production that sit more naturally with a net zero future, alongside efforts to make our current systems more sustainable. Research is needed towards sourcing of nutrient dense, low carbon, land-free diverse ingredients that can be produced using approaches compatible with Net Zero.
Application Deadline: 15 November 2024
