PhD Position 2024-2027: The Bioenergetics and Protein Engineering (BIP) laboratory at CNRS and Aix-Marseille University is offering a fully-funded PhD position in the development of electroenzymatic biosensors for hydrogen detection. This research will contribute to advancing safe hydrogen storage and sustainable energy solutions.
PhD Position 2024-2027 – Electroenzymatic Biosensor for H2 Detection
Designation:
PhD Position in Electroenzymatic Biosensor Development
Research Area:
Analytical Chemistry, Electrochemistry, and Biosensor Development with a focus on sustainable energy technologies.
Location:
Bioenergetics and Protein Engineering (BIP), CNRS, Aix-Marseille University, Marseille, France
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Master’s degree in Chemistry, with a strong foundation in Analytical Chemistry.
- Interest and background in Electrochemistry and 3D Printing.
- Enthusiasm for interdisciplinary research.
Job Description:
The selected candidate will join a dynamic research team to design and develop an innovative electroenzymatic biosensor for hydrogen (H₂) detection using Ni-Fe hydrogenase from Aquifex aeolicus.
