Postdoc: Biocatalysis & Enzyme Engineering

FWF; Graz; Presencial; EUR 39.000 - 54.000; Tempo integral

Resumo da vaga

Graz University of Technology hosts a project funded by FWF to mechanistically investigate enzymes with hydrophobic binding pockets and their role in chemo- and stereoselectivity. The aim is to apply this knowledge to rational design of biocatalysts with improved selectivity for biobased chemicals.

The successful candidate will combine experimental enzyme engineering with computational analyses and contribute to reports, publications, and conference contributions.

Qualificações

• PhD in Biochemistry, Chemistry, Biotechnology or related field.
• Outstanding academic record.
• Advanced knowledge in structural biology, computational biology, biocatalysis or molecular biology.
• Excellent English language skills (spoken and written).
• Ability to work independently in an interdisciplinary environment with resilience.

Responsabilidades

• Research on enzyme engineering supported by computational approaches.
• Biocatalytic investigation of engineered enzyme variants and integration into process setting.
• Documentation of scientific results and presentations in reports, publications and conferences.
