Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) Full time
Job Overview
DTU CeMiSt is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our interdisciplinary team focused on the chemical ecology of microbial secondary metabolites. As a Postdoctoral Researcher, you will play a key role in advancing our understanding of the complex interactions between microorganisms and their natural environments.

Responsibilities
  • Identify and characterize bioactive metabolites and their biosynthetic gene clusters from actinomycetes isolated from our CeMiSt sampling sites.
  • Develop and implement 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 colleagues at CeMiSt.

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.
