Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Center for Microbial Secondary Metabolites (CeMiSt) at DTU Biosustain. The successful candidate will work closely with Prof. Tilmann Weber and Prof. Ling Ding to investigate the chemical ecology of microbial secondary metabolites and their impact on microbial communities.

Responsibilities
  • Identify and characterize bioactive metabolites and their biosynthetic gene clusters from actinomycetes isolated from our CeMiSt sampling sites in Dyrehaven.
  • Develop, implement, and interpret assays to assess the chemical ecology of these metabolites in shaping microbial communities.
  • Survey the available literature and formulate own scientific hypotheses and questions in collaboration with the colleagues at CeMiSt.
  • Write peer-reviewed scientific publications.
Requirements
  • Strong background in natural products and documented practical experience in chemical ecology and/or molecular biology, genome mining, and genetic engineering of natural product biosynthetic pathways.
  • Documented practical experience with filamentous actinomycetes or other non-model bacteria is beneficial.
  • Excellent theoretical knowledge on microbial natural product biosynthesis.
  • Demonstrated oral and written English skills.
  • You are a team player enjoying working in a highly interdisciplinary and international environment and interacting with peers within the Center and partners.
What We Offer

DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation, and scientific advice.
