The Department of Environmental Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark invites applications for a position as PhD fellow on the topic: Pathogen invasion in environmental biofilms: role of architecture and community composition”.
The fellowship is funded as part of the Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN) MERMAID - Microbial Resource Management for Closing the Urban Water Cycle, which is funded by EU-FP7 People. The aim of MERMAID is to provide research training in the emergent area of Microbial Resource Management and Engineering to close the Urban Water Cycle.
The project considers microbial communities present in the urban water cycle as valuable resources that can be steered and exploited to produce, maintain, and deliver high quality water in an energy efficient way. The candidate will join a group of 13 PhD fellows with the opportunity to cooperate across countries and sectors, attend especially tailored courses, and be supervised by a team of excellent researchers who span the breadth from microbial ecology to bioenvironmental engineering.
Candidates must be eligible according to the ITN recruitment guidelines for Early Stage Researchers, i.e. they must have maximum 4 years research experience, measured from the time they completed their Masters, and cannot have resided or carried out their main activity in Denmark for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to their recruitment.
