Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Center for Microbial Secondary Metabolites. The successful candidate will be responsible for identifying and characterizing bioactive metabolites and their biosynthetic gene clusters from actinomycetes isolated from our sampling sites.

Responsibilities:
  • Develop, implement, and interpret 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.
  • Write peer-reviewed scientific publications.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in natural products, documented practical experience in chemical ecology, and excellent theoretical knowledge on microbial natural product biosynthesis.
