Työnimike: Tohtorikoulutettava/Doctoral candidate

Työnkuvaus:
Aalto University is a community of bold thinkers where science and art meet technology and business. Aalto University has six schools with nearly 20 000 students and 4 700 employees, 390 of which are professors. Our campuses are located in Espoo and Helsinki, Finland. Aalto University School of Chemical Technology is looking for a doctoral candidate to join the bioprocess engineering research group at the Department of Biotechnology and Chemical Technology. The group is led by Assistant Professor Sandip Bankar. The group has experience different bioreactor cultivation and down-stream techniques, optimizing microbial metabolite production processes together with metabolic engineering techniques. Cultivation parameter estimation, modelling, optimization and simulations are common tools. For this position, the work involves experience in bioreactor cultivations (using bioreactors) and bioreactor modeling (e.g. mass transfer models). Three years project work comprises fermentation work consist of conventional shake flasks and stirred tank reactors in laboratory scale and culture condition optimization in laboratory scale. Fermentation cases are scaled up and optimized in pilot scale using an airlift reactor. The optimization based on mass transfer, mixing and cultivation conditions and maximum productivity are carried out and viability of the processes is evaluated based on techno-economic parameters. Based on fermentation data, corresponding fermentation/production models are also formed. Successful candidates should have a background in bioprocess engineering, biotechnology or related fields. As doctoral students take part in laboratory teaching communication skills with students are needed. Knowledge of the Finnish language will be considered an advantage. For more information please contact Assistant Professor Sandip Bankar or Research Fellow Tero Eerikäinen, emails: firstname.lastname (at) aalto.fi Please apply through our electronic recruitment system (link below). The deadline for applications is 30.7.2016. Application materials should be submitted in English. Your application should include the following attachments: CV, cover letter, references, transcript of records, research plan for doctoral thesis. The applicants must fulfill the admission requirements for the Aalto Doctoral Programme in Chemical Technology. The applicant is expected to apply for and to be granted a right to pursue doctoral studies at Aalto University in the next application cycle in the fall of 2016.
