Dr Pei-Ying Hong, a new faculty member at KAUST Environmental Science and
Engineering Program and a member of the Water Desalination and Reuse Center
(WDRC), is actively looking for self-motivated individuals to join the team.
At KAUST, two of the immediate projects that Dr Hong be initiating will be
related to (i) membrane biofouling in desalination plants and (ii) drinking
water microbiota in the Saudi Arabia drinking water distribution systems.
The overall approaches will include, but not limited to, the conventional
molecular approaches (e.g., fingerprinting methods, clone libraries), next
generation sequencing of 16S rRNA genes, omics-based approaches and
isolation. Research activities will be conducted at the WDRC, where most of
the basic equipment (e.g., PCR thermal cyclers, microplate reader,
epifluorescence microscope, autoclaves etc) are already available. As a new
hire, Dr Hong and her team will also be further expanding the microbial
biotechnology and ecology lab in the very near future.
Although KAUST is a relatively young university (inaugurated in 2009), it is
worth mentioning that KAUST is not behind many top-notch universities in
terms of the infrastructure and equipment. Within KAUST, there are six core
labs which house the major facilities. To illustrate, the six core labs
include Analytical Chemistry, Biosciences and Bioengineering (inclusive of
genomics and proteomics facilities) and Imaging & Characterization lab.
The KAUST environment is one where you would be able to interact with
researchers from all over the world, where you are able to engage science in
a secured environment, and where you are able to enrich yourself further to
facilitate your next step towards your long term goals.
For more information on the facilities, please refer to http://www.kaust.edu.sa/research/labs/about.html and http://wdrc.kaust.edu.sa/pages/Home.aspx.
