Project overview

Job Responsibilities

• Responsible for the development and testing of microbial populations that accelerate aerobic repair at landfills;

• Collect landfill samples and analyze their physicochemical properties, establish microbial species screening standards and design culture medium formulas;

• Screen and identify high-efficiency degradation strains, optimize the formula of the culture medium and conduct bacterial community combination ratio experiments;

• Test degradation performance, analyze stability in laboratory reactors and pilot-scale reactors, and complete multiple rounds of comparative experiments;

• Prepare the fungal powder (freeze-dried or spray-dried) and conduct activity and quality testing to ensure effective action when applied;

• Provide microbial environment requirements and parameter thresholds for AI control systems, and collaborate with software and hardware teams to complete system integration and field applications.

Job Requirements

• Hold a PhD in chemistry, chemical engineering, microbiology, environmental science or related STEM fields, which must be awarded by a local university or an internationally recognized institution;

• Hold a bachelor’s degree in fine chemicals/applications chemistry;

• Candidates with interdisciplinary skills to combine microbial/chemical R&D with AI-driven data systems are especially preferred;

• Must have the legal right to work in Hong Kong during the employment period.
