PhD: Zero-Carbon Biomaterials for Metal Recovery

The University of Manchester invites applications for an interdisciplinary PhD project to develop new biomaterials for selective extraction, purification and valorisation of precious metals and toxic metal waste, inspired by extremophile organisms.

You will collaborate between the Gibson group and the Natrajan group, using world-class facilities in the Department of Chemistry and the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology, with a start anticipated in September 2027.
