PHD candidate: Deep Eutectic Solvents (part time (75%) and fixed term until January 2028)
Institut für Technische Biokatalyse - TUHH
Hamburg
Remote Work (optional)
Biocatalysis
Downstream Processing
At the Institute of Technical Biocatalysis, we develop new biocatalytic technologies for a more sustainable future. We are a highly interdisciplinary, intercultural and globally networked team that values close collaboration with partners from industry and academia.
At the heart of TU Hamburg’s research, teaching and transfer of technology is the guiding principle of developing technology for people. The TU Hamburg sees itself in this context as a family-friendly and sustainable university with high performance and quality standards that strives for excellence in all its research fields. Interdisciplinarity, innovation, regionality and internationality are binding principles in our actions.
With currently host around 8.000 students, 110 professors and 1.650 employees, the TU Hamburg is characterised by short decision-making processes and close cooperation between the board, the institutes, the deans of studies, the research areas and the administration. We identify ourselves with a modern leadership culture and cultivate appreciative interaction.

PHD candidate: Deep Eutectic Solvents (part time (75%) and fixed term until January 2028)
Activities and responsibilities
This project is part of an FNR research unit with an academic and industrial partner. The central aim is the \"Scaling of enzymatic platform processes in Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) for the production of biosurfactants and chiral fine chemicals\". Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are considered as promising alternatives to conventional solvents to perform efficient biocatalytic reactions. In order to fundamentally evaluate the feasibility of a technical use of DES as reaction media in biocatalysis, lipase-catalyzed model reactions will be investigated. This investigation will include consideration of scale-up possibilities, implementation of inline analytics and downstream processing.
- Establishment of analytics and physicochemical characterization of deep eutectic solvents (DES)
- Characterization of a lipase-catalyzed biotransformation in DES using sustainable resources
- Development and scale-up of the biotransformation including downstream processing
- Writing reports and scientific publications, applying for third-party funding and presenting at scientific conferences and congresses
- Participation in teaching, supervision of research and final theses (project, Bachelor's and Master's theses)
Qualification profile
- Successfully completed university studies in the field of biotechnology, (bio)process engineering, technical chemistry or related disciplines
- Experience of working in a laboratory
- Knowledge in biocatalysis and downstream processing
- Experience with FTIR analytics and data analysis software
- Enjoy working in an interdisciplinary and international team
We offer
- a job in an interesting, friendly and appreciative working environment
- intensive induction/ onboarding
- flexible and family-friendly working conditions
- good public transport connections
- comprehensive training and further education programs
