Kongens Lyngby, Denmark Danmarks Tekniske Universitet Full time

The Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering (DTU Chemical Engineering) invites applications for few positions as Post Doctoral Fellow to be hired for a European Research Council (ERC) funded project with focus on anaerobic microbiome for biotechnological applications aiming at valorization of biowastes. 

Your background is on anaerobic microbiology, microbial ecology, microbial interactions, syntrophies, genome scale modelling, bioengineering, and fermentation. 

The positions are:

  • Postdoc, with a background in microbial ecology - Focusing on microbial interactions of anaerobic microcosms.  
  • Postdoc, with a background on microbial ecology – Focusing on genome mapping based on genomic information and genome scale modelling of the anaerobic microbiome. 
  • Postdoc, ideally with a background on microbiology and microfluidics - Focusing on microbial isolations and design of tailored mixed cultures. 

    The successful candidates will join an innovative, collaborative, international and multidisciplinary team. The group works on both fundamental understanding but also development and validation of new technologies based on the use of microorganisms as tools to valorise organic wastes and wastewaters into useful bioproducts, biofuels and bioenergy. One of our important values is cooperation, and we believe that we can reach world-class results together. 

    You will be involved to strengthen the Bioconversions group competences within microbiome studies using modern technologies such as metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and anaerobic mixed cultures design and construction. You will work with nearby colleagues, and with both academic and industrial partners in Denmark as well as abroad. 

    The candidate is expected to:

    • Design and perform experimental work.
    • Be involved in the co-supervision of PhD, MSc and BSc students.
    • Present research findings in scientific papers, conferences, public domain and other outreach activities
    • Actively contribute to fundraising activities in the department

      Qualifications
      The candidate should have the following qualifications:

    • A PhD degree and a strong publication record in Microbiology/Anaerobic microbiology/Life sciences, Environmental or Chemical Engineering, Bioinformatics, or other relevant to this position.
  • Proven ability to work in the following areas: use bioinformatics tools, traditional and modern anaerobic microbiology, molecular biology.
Experience with culturing microorganisms or a strong motivation to learn and detailed understanding of anaerobic microbial metabolism. Experience in genome-scale metabolic model construction and validation, related modelling skills, or a strong motivation to learn these skills. Previous experience in execution of research projects. Experience with the supervision and guidance of MSc and BSc students. Strong writing and oral communication skills. Able to work both independently and in a team. Collaborative international experience.
