Advanced Water Management Centre Postgraduate Research Scholarship
Scholarship Description
Based at the Queensland's St. Lucia Campus the Advanced Water Management Centre is offering a full PhD scholarship on the study of microbial communities that perform extracellular electron transfer in Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC). A number of environmentally relevant niches will be sampled to establish the favourable microbial communities. MFCs provide a selective environment for extracellular redox active proteins, and these will be analysed using a proteomic approach. The project will give in depth information on the influence of extracellular electron transfer on substrate fluxes to and from underwater soils, and provide unique insight both on a genomic and proteomic level on how bacteria perform this in nature. Highly motivated PhD candidates with a strong academic background and/or professional experience in environmental biotechnology, environmental microbiology or biological/chemical sciences are invited to apply for these scholarships.
