Are you interested in working with omics data and learning bioinformatics for environmental engineering applications? If yes, we have the project at Eawag for you.


Granulated sludge technologies use less energy and have a reduced footprint than conventional wastewater treatment. The granules which are necessary for this technology are dense microbial aggregates which have hydrogel-like properties due to extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). However, the genetic regulation of EPS production during granulation remains poorly understood.
In this MSc thesis or internship project, you will have the opportunity to analyze metagenomic- and metatranscriptomic data to investigate the genetic mechanisms of EPS production. Specifically, you will work with DNA and RNA sequencing data obtained from two granulation treatment lanes with different operational durations of hydrocyclones in Switzerland. Depending on interest, you may also carry out additional molecular biology experiments to test the functions of genes in EPS pathways associated with granulation.

We are looking for

a master student or intern (being enrolled in a university for the entire duration is a must) with interests in any of the following: genomics / molecular biology, programming / data analysis and/or or advanced technologies for biological wastewater treatment. We are flexible in terms of start dates in 2025 or 2026.
