Ph.D. opening in biochemical engineering/molecular biology at Dartmouth College

The Lynd research group at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College has an opening for a PhD student in Fall 2019. Dr. Lee Lynd (full professor) is working to engineer anaerobic cellulolytic bacteria to produce biofuels from cellulose. Prospective students should have research experience in metabolic engineering, familiarity with techniques of molecular biology and microbiology, and an interest in industrial biotechnology. For more information, visit https://engineering.dartmouth.edu/lyndlab/. If interested, please contact daniel.g.olson@dartmouth.edu.

Professor Lynd has been a member of the Dartmouth Faculty since 1987 and is an expert on utilization of plant biomass for production of energy. Professor Lynd’s H-Index of 67 (Google Scholar) is among the highest of researchers with primary activity in the bioenergy field. His contributions span the science, technology, and policy domains, and include leading research on fundamental and biotechnological aspects of microbial cellulose utilization. Professor Lynd has three times testified before the United States Senate and has been featured in prominent fora such as Wired, Forbes, Nova, and the Nobel Conference.

招生介绍：达特茅斯（常春藤之一）工程学院 (Thayer school of engineering) Lee Lynd教授组将于2019年秋季招收一名博士生，方向为：微生物代谢工程。该学生将由中国国家留学基金委提供支持。Lynd教授是美国生物能源研究的领头羊。实验室主要致力于研究并建立可以同时降解纤维素并生产乙醇，丁醇等生物能源的微生物发酵系统。

招生要求：生物背景，具有代谢工程，分子生物学和微生物学方面的研究经验，对偏工业应用的科研有浓厚的兴趣。英语达到达特茅斯招生统一标准。
