About this position
Arizona State University is offering two fully funded PhD research assistantships in the Integrated Algae Biorefinery Lab within the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment. The research focuses on integrated algae biorefinery technologies for converting biomass into useful products while addressing environmental and resource-recovery challenges.
PhD researchers will investigate biomass valorization, critical mineral recovery, and wastewater treatment through a combination of advanced processing technologies. The project includes supercritical CO₂ extraction, membrane separation, and hydrothermal processing, providing an interdisciplinary research environment spanning chemical, environmental, biochemical, bioprocess, and biological or biosystems engineering.
The lab is led by Dr. Kura Duba, and the assistantships are intended for researchers with strong experimental and analytical interests in sustainable engineering and algae-based resource recovery.
Funding details
Two fully funded PhD research assistantships are available. The post does not specify the stipend amount or the details of tuition and benefits.
What's required
Applicants must hold an MS degree in chemical, environmental, biochemical, bioprocess, biological/biosystems engineering, or a closely related field. Strong experimental and analytical skills are required.
How to apply
