Offer Description

Information About The B3PO Project

The Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials at Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) offers a PhD position for a doctoral candidate/MSCA fellow for the project: "Reaction engineering for the Enzyme-Assisted Modification of Solid Lignin".

The offered position is available with a starting date between ********************** for a maximum duration of 3 years. The fellowship is funded as part of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) project

"B3PO – Better BioBased Polymer"

under the European Commission's Horizon Europe programme.

The B3PO consortium comprises 9 academic laboratories with core expertise in biotechnology, organic polymer synthesis, and materials science, together with world-class industrial players in enzyme and polymer production, as well as four high-tech SMEs.

The transition to a sustainable, circular economy is a major global challenge, and chemists are essential in leading this transformation. Lignocellulosic feedstocks (LCF), sourced from locally available biomass, present a viable alternative to fossil resources and are a key focus of the European Green Deal. However, their effective use is complex and demands the combined expertise of chemistry, industrial biotechnology, polymer science, and materials engineering.

The B3PO initiative addresses this challenge through three main objectives:

Dis-assembly

– developing integrative "lignin-first" strategies for extraction, fractionation, and enzymatic functionalization of lignin.

Bio-assembly

– synthesizing new biobased polyesters from lignocellulosic feedstocks.

Re-assembly

– polymerizing the resulting biobased monomers into fully biobased polyesters.

The FQPIMA group at the Department of Chemical Engineering at UCM is looking for a talented and motivated person, who is eager to perform a PhD in the field of bioprocess engineering and biocatalysis. The aim is to develop strategies to control the enzyme-assisted modification of different lignin fractions, by free and heterogeneous enzyme catalysis and reaction engineering, developing robust free and immobilized enzymes for modifying lignin particles and controlling architecture.

The project (DC03) will be a co-supervised by Prof. Juan M. Bolivar (UCM, Madrid) and Prof. Robert Kourist (TUG, Austria) as a double-degree PhD project with a 9-month secondment to the TUG. An industrial secondment in Novonesis is also planned.

The PhD candidate will also be required to participate in the training and workshop organized by the B3PO MSCA-DN. As a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions fellow, it is also expected to contribute time in the dissemination of the project's results through public engagement and other scientific platforms.
