Job Description

The Københavns Universitet invites applications for a 2-years Postdoctoral fellowship in oxygen-dependent enzymes and their role in the conversion of biomass.

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to investigate oxygen dynamics in the enzymatic degradation of wood.

The position is part of the international research consortium OxyMiST, which aims to understand oxygen as a factor in biomass degradation.

  • Conduct research on the enzymatic degradation of wood and wheat straw.
  • Analyze the role of reactive oxygen species in these degradation processes.
  • Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team and utilize available biomasses, pretreatments, and enzymes at IGN.

Key Qualifications:

  • Ph.D. in a relevant field (e.g., biochemistry, biology, environmental science).
  • Experience with enzymatic processes and biomaterial degradation.
  • Experience with oxygen-controlled equipment (e.g., bioreactors, glovebox, gas-tight systems).
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
