02/C05-i01/2022 – Vertical Algas Project 1 - Development of new biorefinery models for processing algae biomass into ingredients, under the following conditions, set out below.Scientific area: MicrobiologyAdmission requirements:General requirements:Candidates for the Research grant must hold a master's degree in Microbiology, Biotechnology or related areas.Specific requirements:Candidates must also have knowledge and research experience in the characterization of bioactive compounds with antimicrobial capacity and their respective delivery systems.
Knowledge of microbiology techniques is also essential.
Proficiency in the English language is also required.Preferred Factors:Preferred factors include experience in research projects, evidence of international scientific publications, and experience in database management.Candidates for the Research scholarship must also be enrolled or commit to enrolling in a course that does not lead to an academic degree that promotes the consolidation of their scientific training .Work Plan:Within the scope of this project, research will be carried out on the development of sustainable processing methodologies for algae biomass, integrated into biorefinery strategies, focused on the extraction, characterization and valorization of bioactive compounds.
The activities to be developed fall within the specific objective of recovering and valorizing various marketable compounds from algae, with more environmentally friendly procedural approaches and extraction technologies, complying with the legal requirements for their incorporation into the human and animal food and nutraceutical industries, and cosmetics, which will promote the valorization of algae and make the process more profitable.
This scholarship holder must continue the developments that have already been initiated, as well as support the development and optimization of methodologies and the dissemination of the project..Applicable legislation and regulations:Statute of the Scientific Research Fellow: ; Regulation of Research Scholarships of the Science and Technology Foundation, I.P: ; Regulation of Research Scholarships of the Portuguese Catholic University:
