Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) Full time
Job Description

A Postdoc position is available for experimental research on enzymes immobilized on polymeric and organic-inorganic hybrid matrices for catalysis of chemical reactions needed for transitioning to a sustainable and green society.

The candidate will work on visualizing the position, density, structure, and dynamics of immobilized enzymes using state-of-the-art optical and electron microscopy techniques. The work is part of a highly interdisciplinary collaboration - Biocatalysts Interactions with Gases (BIG) - comprising novel characterization, analysis, testing, and modeling of gaseous substrates at immobilized enzymes, with international leading partners at North Carolina State University (NC State), Technical University of Denmark (DTU), and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).

Responsibilities
  • You will work quantitatively with enzyme interaction with organic-inorganic hybrid matrices using state-of-the-art optical fluorescence microscopy (widefield, confocal, and super-resolution modalities) as well as high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.
  • Developing pioneering methods for nanoscale imaging of enzymes immobilized at "soft matter" and inorganic surfaces to determine enzyme position, density, and interaction with immobilization matrices.
  • Uncovering fundamental characteristics of matrices for efficient enzyme-catalyzed reactions with gaseous substrates.
  • Exploring factors influencing enzyme activity and longevity at immobilization matrices.
