Microbial Innovations in Rare Earth Element Extraction

The project aims to revolutionize the extraction and recovery of rare earth elements by leveraging microbial processes that offer sustainable alternatives.

A strong global demand for rare earth elements is driven by their pivotal role in renewable energy, electronics, and advanced manufacturing. However, conventional mining methods for REEs are not only energy-intensive but also raise significant environmental concerns.

  • The project will investigate the use of microbial processes to extract REEs from primary and secondary sources.
  • Laboratory work will involve microbial culturing and possibly recombinant DNA techniques such as cloning, transformation, and plasmid construction.

Candidate Requirements:

  • Strong academic background in chemical or biological engineering, microbiology, or a related discipline.
  • Practical experience in microbial culturing.
  • Hands-on skills in recombinant DNA techniques (such as cloning, transformation, and plasmid construction) are preferred.

This PhD opportunity offers a unique chance to contribute to groundbreaking research in sustainable mining and resource recovery.

Benefits: As a PhD candidate, you will have the opportunity to work on a cutting-edge project that has the potential to make a significant impact in the field of rare earth element extraction.

Duration: The PhD program is expected to last for three years, during which time you will be required to complete original research, coursework, and a dissertation.
