Enzymatic Biomaterials Investigator
3 days ago
The Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management invites applicants for a 2-years Postdoctoral fellowship. The position is part of the Novo Nordisk Foundation funded project "OxyMiST." This international research effort investigates oxygen constraints on microbial secretomes during plant cell wall turnover.
Oxygen dynamics play a crucial role in enzymatic degradation processes. We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to investigate whether reactive oxygen species act as limiting factors or stress factors in biomass degradation. Improved understanding of these processes can enable new methods for utilizing forest or agricultural products in a green bioeconomy.
This position is highly collaborative and part of the OxyMiST consortium, which aims to understand oxygen's impact on biomass degradation. Researchers will explore the role of oxygen-controlled equipment and collaborate with a multidisciplinary team.
Key Responsibilities:
- Conduct research on enzymatic degradation of wood and wheat straw.
- Analyze the role of reactive oxygen species in these degradation processes.
- Collaborate with researchers using biomasses, pretreatments, and enzymes at IGN.
Qualifications:
- Ph.D. in a relevant field (biochemistry, biology, environmental science).
- Experience with enzymatic processes and biomass degradation.
- Experience with oxygen-controlled equipment.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively.
The research will be carried out in the laboratories of the Biopolymers and Redox Enzymes group and the Bioresource Chemistry and Technology group at the University of Copenhagen.
