Organisation: Cranfield University Faculty or Department: Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences Based at: Cranfield Campus, Cranfield, Bedfordshire Hours of work: 37 hours per week, normally worked Monday to Friday. Flexible working will be considered. Contract type: Fixed term contract Fixed Term Period: Fixed term contract for 12 months Salary: £37,897 per annum Apply by: 14/07/2026 Role Description Cranfield Water Science Institute welcomes applications from passionate, skilled and committed Engineering, Environmental Science, Biology and Biotechnology graduates with a PhD in relevant subjects to contribute to an exciting European project developing biotechnological processes that use phototrophic microorganisms to recover resources from waste. About the Role We are seeking a dedicated Research Fellow to join our dynamic team in addressing the crucial challenge of recovering resources from waste. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in a high-profile European project (OLinWASTE) of international relevance aimed at establishing a groundbreaking case study for an integrated zero-emission biorefinery to convert olive mill wastes into valuable resources. The overall project will upcycle olive mill waste into high-value products such as plant bioimmunostimulants, biopesticides, biofertilizers, biobased plastics, and bioenergy. The focus on the candidate for this position will be on developing treatment processes exploiting the metabolic flexibility of phototrophic microorganisms to recover polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) and macronutrients (N, P) from digestate and other waste effluents. Utilising state-of-the-art facilities and collaborating with other project partners, the role encompasses the planning, implementation of experimental tests and the operation of laboratory and small-scale reactors to grow phototrophic microorganisms and assess their ability to remove organics and nutrients, and accumulate PHAs. The role will also involve the assessment of the use of coarse filtration as a solid-liquid separation strategy for the implementation of photo-bioreactors. Your work will contribute to an international project, inform strategies and asset design to exploit the potential of phototrophic microorganisms for the recovery of value from waste and the protection of the environment. This is an exceptional opportunity for a professional passionate about engineering, environmental science, biology or biotechnology to impact the agro-industrial and waste sectors significantly. About You You will be educated to doctoral level (or close to completion) in Engineering, Environmental Science, Biology or Biotechnology, and have experience in management research using both qualitative and quantitative methods. You will have experience in research involving phototrophic microorganisms (either autotrophic or heterotrophic) and a track record of translating the microbiological properties of these microorganisms into engineering applications. The role will also involve using coarse filtration (mesh or cloth filtration) as a solid-liquid separation strategy for the biomass recovery in continuous photo-bioreactors. With excellent communication skills, you will have expertise in wastewater and/or waste treatments and biological processes for resource recovery. A background in biotechnology, environmental or engineered systems would be an advantage. Knowledge of filtration and separation processes would be an advantage. Equivalent industry experience would be considered’ About Us As a specialist postgraduate university, Cranfield’s world-class expertise, large-scale facilities and unrivalled industry partnerships are creating leaders in technology and management globally.
