PhD opportunity: Bio-engineering of biochar for enhanced remediation of contaminated environments, Heriot-Watt University. Deadline: Wednesday, January 15, 2025.
This is a funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only) based in the School of Engineering & Physical Sciences at Heriot-Watt University with Dr Tony Gutierrez. This project proposes an innovative systematic approach to contaminated sites that will marry specific physicochemical properties of biochar with selected bacterial species for enhancing the bioremediation of soils contaminated with persistent priority pollutants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
