Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team at the Center for Visualizing Catalytic Processes (VISION) at DTU Physics. The successful candidate will work on experimental research on enzymes immobilized on polymeric and organic-inorganic hybrid matrices for catalysis of chemical reactions.

The project focuses on visualizing the position, density, structure, and dynamics of immobilized enzymes using state-of-the-art optical and electron microscopy techniques. You will be part of a highly interdisciplinary collaboration - Biocatalysts Interactions with Gases (BIG) - comprising novel characterization, analysis, testing, and modeling of gaseous substrates at immobilized enzymes.

Responsibilities and Tasks
  • 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.
  • Using visualizations for understanding of enzyme structure-function aspects of catalysis.
Requirements and Qualifications
  • A PhD degree in physics, chemistry, or biology.
  • Documented experience with optical and electron microscopy.
  • Experience in biocatalysis and nanoscience is an advantage.
  • Scientific programming skills using Python are essential.
What We Offer

DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation, and scientific advice. As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent). We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment.
