Phd Position in 'A multidisciplinary ‘big data’ approach to identify early warning signals in microalgae production systems'
Host institution ICM -CSIC - Instituto de Ciencias del Mar
Research Project / Research Group Description
The project will be carried out in the research group Plankton Ecology and Ocean Health of the Institut de Ciencies del Mar (ICM-CSIC). Among other interests, the group harnesses the diversity marine living resources for the development of efficient and environmentally-integrated bioenergy/food/remediation technologies. If awarded, this doctoral project will contribute to boost an innovative research line on blue bio-energy that, in collaboration with 7 other European research institutions, has recently been awarded by the EU with a research and innovation grant (a total of 2.5 million euros) to develop early warning technologies in microbial-based production systems (PRODIGIO project).
Job position description
The research will be carried out at the Institut de Ciencies del Mar CSIC within the framework of the EU Research & Innovation Action PRODIGIO, an ambitious green bioenergy initiative aimed at moving the entire biogas production chain efficiently towards its theoretical maximum. The doctoral student will acquire skills in multi-Omics, chemical fingerprint technologies, bioinformatics, and computational ecology methods, and will join an international research team involved in the reconstruction of the interaction networks operating normal, pre-failure and failure state bioreactors. The research programme will be performed in close collaboration with project partners.
This position is based in Barcelona, Spain.
