PhD Position Cyanobacterial Engineered Living Materials for High Carbon Capture-
Job description

Global warming and climate change, driven by increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations, are one of the key challenges of the 21st century. Despite the urgency of decarbonization efforts, economically sustainable solutions for the decrease of atmospheric CO2 are still lacking. With the increased awareness for sustainability, Engineered Living Materials (ELMs) - which integrate living systems to perform specific functions - present a promising opportunity to address these challenges through the combination of biology, materials science, and design. Among integrated living systems, cyanobacteria offer promising opportunities for the development of ELMs, specifically due to their mechanisms for carbon capture.

This project is financed by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) Open Competition Domain Science - M

**Requirements**:

- A MSc degree in biotechnology, biodesign, bioengineering, microbiology, materials science, or a related field
- A strong interest in the intersection of biology, design, and biobased materials
- Experience with microbiological techniques, photosynthetic organisms, biodesign, or materials science is advantageous but not required

Conditions of employment

The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.

For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service. This service provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service offers a Dual Career Programme for partners and they organise events to expand your (social) network.

TU Delft (Delft University of Technology)

Delft University of Technology is built on strong foundations. As creators of the world-famous Dutch waterworks and pioneers in biotech, TU Delft is a top international university combining science, engineering and design. It delivers world class results in education, research and innovation to address challenges in the areas of energy, climate, mobility, health and digital society. For generations, our engineers have proven to be entrepreneurial problem-solvers, both in business and in a social context.

Challenge. Change. Impact

Faculty Industrial Design Engineering

Matching the evolution of people with the speed of the revolution of technology. This is the focus of the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering (IDE). Delft designers act as a bridge between advances in technology and the needs of people, organisations and society to create products, services and systems with purpose.

In close cooperation with industry, the public sector and NGOs we rehearse possible futures in research and education to design for a complex future.
