The position involves establishing and operating a multistage biotechnological process to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates from urban biowastes using mixed microbial cultures. The role requires scaling the process from laboratory (TRL 3) to pilot scale (TRL 6), followed by extraction, recovery, and analysis of the produced polymers using chromatographic techniques. The successful candidate will contribute to advancing sustainable biomaterial production from waste streams.
