http://www8.umu.se/umu/aktuellt/arkiv/lediga_tjanster/313-338-10.htmlBio4Energy is a strategic research area with focus on bioenergy and the biorefinery of lignocellulose (www.bio4energy.se). The consortium behind Bio4Energy consists of Umeå University, Luleå University of Technology, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, R&D companies, and other industrial partners. Activities within Bio4Energy are connected to several pilot plants, which are located in Örnsköldsvik, Umeå, and Piteå and which are devoted to research on sustainable biofuels from lignocellulose. Bio4Energy is organized into seven research platforms. A PhD student position is now open within the Biochemical platform, which has the aim to develop novel biocatalysts and bioprocesses designed for efficient conversion of lignocellulose to commodities such as second-generation biofuels, green chemicals and biomaterials.
The PhD student position is linked to prof. Leif J. Jönsson's group in Technical Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry of Umeå University. The Department of Chemistry (www.chemistry.umu.se) conducts research in the areas of biological chemistry, environmental biogeochemistry and technical chemistry. The department has a strong focus on interdisciplinary work and has good access to modern analytical instrumentation including facilities within the Chemical Biological Centre (www.kbc.umu.se).
