Update (12 June 2024): This position has been filled. Thank you for all the interests and I apologise if I missed replying to your messages/emails.

My lab, in collaboration with the Advanced Membrane Technology Research Centre – AMTEC UTM, has an opening for a PhD position on biomethane production performance from palm oil mill effluent (POME). The project will investigate the effects of physicochemical parameters on methane production in a lab-scale bioreactor, and the association with the microbial community dynamics. The candidate will be exposed to bioprocess technology, wastewater treatment, environmental biochemistry, and molecular microbiology.

Monthly allowance will be provided to the successful candidate. Kindly drop me an email at firdausw@utm.my if you are interested.

Candidates from chemistry, biochemistry, biosciences, chemical engineering, bioprocess engineering, and related fields are welcomed to apply. Only open to Malaysians due to the nature of the grant.

Position open until filled.
