In the Environmental Microbial Biofilm Biotechnology (EMBB) research group, we focus our research efforts on understanding biofilm-mediated environmental processes and harnessing the power of microbial biofilms to address environmental issues. We are looking for a highly motivated Project Officer (PO) with an interest in biofilm-plastic interaction. The PO is expected to publish high-quality journal papers to promote the international reputation of the group and the University.

The PO will work on a project aiming to understand how biofilms interact with plastics in marine environments and use the insights to develop novel biotechnologies to upcycle plastic wastes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Rigorously design and perform experiments.
