The University of Nottingham is recruiting a funded PhD student to join the Carbon-Loop Sustainable Biomanufacturing Hub (C-Loop), a pioneering £14M UK research and innovation initiative. The project focuses on using microbial engineering biology to bio-upcycle industrial wastes into valuable chemical products, contributing to large-scale positive impacts and a sustainable net-zero future. Research areas include engineering biology, bioprocess scale-up, and sustainability-led process design, with opportunities to collaborate with the UK-wide C-Loop PhD cohort and industry partners.

The successful candidate will be based in the Nottingham Engineering Biology Labs, engaging with a vibrant academic community and industry collaborators. The position is ideal for students interested in sustainable biomanufacturing, microbial engineering, and environmental innovation. Applicants should have a strong background in engineering biology or related fields, with experience in bioprocess scale-up or sustainability being advantageous. The position is fully funded, though specific stipend and tuition details are not provided.

Application deadline is 8th March 2026. For more information and to apply, candidates should visit the provided application link. This opportunity is suitable for those passionate about sustainable technologies and industrial biotechnology.
