Postdoc: Microbial Single-Cell Genomics & Transcriptomics

KU; København; In loco; DKK 420.000 - 540.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

University of Copenhagen is inviting applications for a full-time, 24-month post-doctoral position in the Social Systems Microbiology group within the Department of Biology. The project focuses on single-cell genomics and transcriptomics of prokaryotes, developing protocols to capture extrachromosomal elements, and applying sequencing to diverse bacteria/archaea.

The role blends wet-lab method development with sequencing and data analysis, offering freedom to shape methods and explore new ideas

Competenze

• PhD in microbiology, microbial biotechnology, molecular biology or a related field.
• Hands-on experience with molecular methods and sequencing library preparation.
• Basic bioinformatic skills for analysing sequencing data (R or Python).
• Works independently while collaborating well in a team.
• Excellent written and spoken English.
• Experience with prokaryotic single-cell omics methods is advantageous.
• Experience with method development and adapting protocols is advantageous.
• Experience cultivating diverse bacteria/archaea is an advantage.

Mansioni

• Cultivate and work with a diverse set of bacteria and archaea
• Develop and optimise protocols for isolating and sequencing extrachromosomal DNA and transcripts
• Apply and adapt single-cell transcriptomic and genomic approaches to prokaryotes
• Quantify DNA and RNA using qPCR and digital PCR, and perform bulk DNA and RNA sequencing
• Analyse sequencing data, publish results and contribute to the group’s scientific environment
