KU - SCIENCE BIO - BRIC; Region Hovedstaden; In loco; DKK 420.000 - 540.000; Tempo pieno

Vantaggi offerti da questo lavoro

Descrizione del lavoro

University of Copenhagen invites applications for a full-time post-doctoral position in the Social Systems Microbiology group at the Section of Microbiology, Department of Biology. The project focuses on single-cell transcriptomics and genomics of prokaryotes and on optimising protocols to capture extrachromosomal elements and their transcripts.

You will work at the interface of wet-lab method development, sequencing and data analysis across bacteria and archaea, with freedom to shape methods

Competenze

• PhD in microbiology, microbial biotechnology, molecular biology or a related field.
• Hands-on experience with molecular methods and sequencing library prep.
• Basic bioinformatic skills in R or Python.
• Able to work independently and in a team.
• Excellent written and spoken English.
• Experience with prokaryotic single-cell omics methods is advantageous.
• Experience with method development and protocol adaptation is advantageous.
• Experience with cultivating diverse bacteria and/or archaea is advantageous.

Mansioni

• Cultivate and work with a diverse set of bacteria and archaea
• Develop and optimise protocols for isolating and sequencing extrachromosomal DNA and associated transcripts from bacteria and archaea
• 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
