This PhD position is available at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, to start next year either in May/June or Sep/Oct 2025. The project is on “Bio-engineering of biochar for enhanced remediation of contaminated environments”. This project proposes an innovative systematic approach 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).
