Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden Chalmers Tekniska Högskola AB Full time

Research Focus:

The research focus of this project is to discover and characterize enzymes that can be used for tailoring and functionalization of wood polymers and wood-derived molecules. This requires a multidisciplinary approach, combining molecular biology, protein production and purification, biochemical characterization, and structural analysis of identified enzymes.

You will work closely with an interdisciplinary group of researchers, including microbiologists, enzymologists, and molecular biologists, to achieve the project goals. Your expertise in working with carbohydrate-active enzymes, analytical techniques for biomass characterization, and collecting and analyzing large -omics datasets will be valuable assets to the project.

Your Contributions:

  • Develop novel methods for enzyme discovery and characterization
  • Contribute to project coordination efforts and collaborate with international partners
  • Communicate scientific results orally and in writing
