Type of Contract: Temporary
Job Status: Part-time
Hours Per Week: 20

Offer Description Job title: Innovative decarbonization processes based on the removal of carbon dioxide and its bioconversion into sustainable biofuels and bioproducts
Research line / Scientific-technical services: Valorization and bioconversion of pollutants.
Tasks to be performed: The candidate to be hired will collaborate in innovative studies on the recovery and bioconversion of greenhouse gases and industrial gaseous emissions (CO2, CO) into products of commercial interest (bioproducts), using acetogenic bacteria, bacteria catalyzing reactions of reverse ß-oxidation, and/or yeasts or bacteria accumulating lipids for biofuels production, nutraceutical compounds, or single cell proteins. Production of H2 (for CO2 conversion) will be studied through chemical reactions. The tasks will consist of the study, in continuous and discontinuous bioreactors, of parameters that affect the bioconversion of substrates into bioproducts with high added value, e.g., lipids, carotenoids, proteins.
Minimum Requirements Required degree: Bachelor (BSc) degree or similar (Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology).
Additional Information Eligibility criteria The following aspects will be evaluated:
The academic record (Undergraduate/Bachelor's Degree): will be scored from 0 to 4 points, taking into account the average grade of the degree. 4 points will be given to the best GPA and proportional scores to the other ones.
Master studies will be scored from 0 to 2 points, following the same criteria as for the BSc Degree.
Previous research experience and participation in projects related to the present project (valorization of polluting gases, production of lipids, carotenoids, proteins) and the optimization of bioreactors will be scored from 0 to 2 points (0.3 points per experience month).
Knowledge of languages (the candidate will have to prove a minimum level of knowledge, equivalent to the intermediate level of the EOI or B2) and it will be scored from 0 to 1 point (B2: 0.75 points, C1 or higher: 1 point). Knowledge of various languages is cumulative.
Personal interview (1 point) (optional, in case of differences in scores of less than 2 points): the candidates with the highest scores and no more than four candidates will be interviewed, calling each candidate at least 24 hours in advance.
The committee that will select the candidate to be hired will be made up of members (professors, researchers) of the BIOENGIN research group.
A waiting list will be created in which candidates with a score difference of no more than one point with respect to the candidate with the highest score will be included.
Selection process WHERE TO APPLY: UDC online services site. Applications should be addressed to the Office of the Vice-Rectorate for Research and Transference, and include the call reference.
DEADLINE: 5 working days from the day following the publication of the call on the official bulletin board of the UDC online services site.
PLACE OF PUBLICATION OF RESULTS: Official bulletin board of the UDC online services site.
