Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden Chalmers tekniska högskola Full time
Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team at Chalmers tekniska högskola. The successful candidate will be part of a larger project focused on microbial deconstruction of tree bark, with a specific emphasis on understanding the biochemical processes involved in this complex process.

Project Overview

The project aims to investigate the microbial degradation of tree bark, with a focus on identifying the enzymes responsible for breaking down the complex polymers present in this material. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and conducting experiments to characterize these enzymes, as well as developing new biotechnological methods for valorizing tree bark.

Responsibilities
  • Design and conduct experiments to characterize microbial enzymes involved in tree bark degradation
  • Develop new biotechnological methods for valorizing tree bark
  • Collaborate with the research team to achieve project goals
  • Communicate research findings through presentations and publications
Requirements
  • PhD in biochemistry, enzyme technology, microbiology, or a related field
  • Experience in biochemical assays, chemical pretreatments, and fermentation
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
What We Offer

Chalmers tekniska högskola offers a dynamic and supportive work environment, with opportunities for professional growth and development. The successful candidate will have access to state-of-the-art research facilities and a collaborative team of researchers.
