Strong research and attractive study programmes attract researchers and students from around the world. With new knowledge and new perspectives, the University contributes to a better future.

   

  Duties

  The position involves independent experimental research, including designing and conducting experiments, analysing and interpreting data, presenting research findings, and preparing scientific publications. You will be responsible for the day-to-day planning and execution of your research project while contributing to the project's overall objectives.

  You will work in an interdisciplinary research environment at the interface of laboratory-based experimentation, microbial engineering, plant science, and computational analysis. The project involves a range of techniques, including microbial cultivation, plant assays, molecular biology methods, construction of genetic libraries, yeast genetic engineering, high-throughput screening, and DNA sequencing.

CRISPRa/i), high throughput screening using FACS and data analysis. The candidate should have experience with microbial cultivation in bioreactors, and analytics including HPLC, MS/MS.

  Desirable qualifications for the employment: Experience in scientific writing, including publications, reports, or grant applications, is also considered an advantage, as is experience working in interdisciplinary and collaborative research environments.

  We are looking for someone who is analytical, curious, and collaborative. As the project spans two universities and brings together multiple disciplines, you enjoy working with people from different backgrounds, building strong relationships, and communicating effectively across teams. You are motivated by understanding complex challenges, exploring new ideas, and developing practical solutions while contributing to an open and collaborative research environment. Excellent communication skills, written and spoken, in English are necessary since we work in an international environment.
