Postdoc in Ecological Metabolomics of Microbial Compounds
7 days ago
Are you a specialist in microbial secondary metabolites, natural product chemistry, or the molecular characterization of gene clusters?
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our interdisciplinary team at DTU CeMiSt.
The role of microbial secondary metabolites in ecology and their impact on natural environments is still not fully understood. Our research aims to explore this topic through an interdisciplinary collaboration using sequence-based, analytical-chemical, molecular, bioinformatic, and classic microbiological methods.
Responsibilities and qualifications
- Identify and characterize bioactive metabolites from actinomycetes isolated from our sampling sites.
- Develop and implement assays to assess the chemical ecology of these metabolites in shaping microbial communities.
- Survey the literature and formulate scientific hypotheses and questions in collaboration with colleagues.
- Write peer-reviewed scientific publications.
As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).
We offer
DTU is a leading technical university recognized for its research, education, innovation, and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding job in an international environment.
Salary and terms of employment
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations.
