PhD in Microbial Natural Products & Omics Biosynthesis

Technical University of Denmark; Kongens Lyngby; Sur place; DKK 314 000 - 404 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Technical University of Denmark invites applications for a PhD student to research microbial natural products and their biosynthetic pathways. The project focuses on characterizing secondary metabolites from diverse microbes and developing biofungicides using state-of-the-art omics technologies.

You will apply metabolomics with LC-MS, MALDI-imaging, and NMR, including genome-mining and microbial engineering, and collaborate with Prof. Xiujie Wang in Beijing.

Qualifications

• A two-year master's degree or equivalent is required.
• Strong background in natural product chemistry and biosynthesis.
• Fluent in English; able to work in an international setting.
• Team player with good writing and communication skills.
• Interest in international collaborations.

Responsabilités

• Characterize microbial secondary metabolites using omics-based approaches.
• Apply metabolomics with LC-MS, MALDI-imaging, and NMR to elucidate structures.
• Investigate biosynthetic pathways and perform genome-mining analyses.
• Collaborate with Prof. Xiujie Wang and DTU colleagues in Beijing.
• Enrol in DTU PhD program and contribute to a biofungicide project.
