About this position

PhD opportunity in synthetic consortia of anaerobic fungi and bacteria, focused on lignocellulose bioconversion under the FUNBAC project. The position is associated with the Toulouse Biotechnology Institute (TBI), France, with collaboration involving the University of Innsbruck, Austria.

The project is supervised by Dr. Guillermina Hernandez-Raquet (INRAE-TBI) and Dr. Sabine Podmirseg (University of Innsbruck). Research themes highlighted in the post include microbial ecology, anaerobic fungi, bacteria, and bioprocess-oriented bioconversion of lignocellulosic substrates. This is a strong fit for candidates interested in microbiology, biotechnology, and bioprocess engineering.

Eligibility: candidates should hold an MSc in microbiology, biotechnology, or bioprocess engineering. The call also notes a mobility requirement: applicants must not have been resident in France for more than 12 of the last 36 months. Good English is required.

Funding: the post does not explicitly state the funding package in the visible text, but it is presented as a PhD position and therefore likely a funded doctoral opening. No stipend amount or tuition details are provided in the post excerpt.

Deadline: 15 November 2026. The post also mentions a planned start in September 2027.

How to apply: use the application link provided in the original post and prepare your MSc credentials, proof of eligibility, and supporting documents. Check the linked announcement for the full application instructions and submission portal.
