OPPORTUNITY: PhD – Design and characterisation of synthetic microbial communities to explore interspecies hydrogen transfer
Closing Date: 15 September 2024
Location: St Genès Champanelle
The French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food, and the Environment (INRAE) is a public research establishment.
You will work in the Dinamic (Digestion, Nutrition, Food, Metabolism, Microbes) team, whose research includes characterising the ruminal microbial ecosystem in order to understand and manipulate methane emissions from ruminants. Ruminant agriculture is currently under intense social pressure for its contribution to global warming. Ruminants are responsible for around a third of anthropogenic methane production, which is linked to microbial activity in the rumen, the first and largest compartment of their digestive system.
