Postdoc in developing a fungal phenotype genotype relationships in novel foods
3 weeks ago
Filamentous fungi hold great potential to aid the green transition of our diets. They can utilize side streams and render them into delicious foods or they can be utilized as cell factories to produce food components. We want to get a better understanding of the relationship between fungal phenotypes and genotypes in regards to relevant features for future food production.Our current food production system is relying on animal and plant-derived proteins. Filamentous fungi may hold great potential to support the green transition of our diets. They can be utilized for the creation of delicious food products. Their features such as enzyme secretion, texture and flavour are critical for the development of sustainable foods. Join us in our endeavor to develop relationships between fungal traits important for the food production of tomorrow and their genome. You will be working in a highly motivated and dedicated team of researchers in an inspiring and interdisciplinary environment and research network in order to tackle this challenge.Responsibilities and qualificationsYou will be responsible to independently plan, execute and interpret scientific experiments in close collaboration and communication within the research group but also collaborators in Denmark and abroad. It is expected that you will keep yourself updated on the scientific literature and entrepreneurial as well as IP landscape. You will further have the opportunity to disseminate your knowledge through supervision of students and presentations at scientific conferences and workshops.In addition, you bring the following qualifications:Experience in genetic engineering of filamentous fungiBioinformatics backgroundLaboratory experience with mycologyIdeally: interest or experience in culinary workEnthusiasm, motivation and dedication to researchStrong communication skills when writing up and presenting scientific resultsAbility to work independently, to conceptualize research findings and to build and maintain scientific collaborationsAs a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).We offerDTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice.
