Postdoctoral Researcher in Biotechnology and Applied Microbiology

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team of experts in biotechnology and applied microbiology. The successful candidate will work on designing and creating novel, 3D printed materials containing live yeast cells.

About the Project

The scope of this two-year postdoctoral project is to develop novel, 3D printed materials with live yeast cells. The researcher will use sophisticated genetic engineering tools to improve inherent yeast properties and provide the yeast with new properties such as environmental responsiveness, metabolite production, and ability to form volumetric material constructs.

About the Department

At Chalmers tekniska högskola, we conduct research, innovation, and education to enable a biobased society and improve human health. Our topics cover both basic and applied aspects of life sciences in the areas of systems biology, chemical biology, industrial biotechnology, and food and nutrition science.

About the Division

The postdoctoral position is placed at the Division of Industrial Biotechnology, which is highly international and counts ~ 40 members. Research activities at the division focus on utilization of renewable raw materials for a sustainable production of fuels and chemicals. Our portfolio of research projects spans from fundamental research to technology development and lab-scale applications, and includes fermentation technology, metabolic engineering, and enzyme discovery.

What We Offer

We offer a dynamic and collaborative research environment, state-of-the-art facilities, and a competitive salary. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with a team of experts in biotechnology and applied microbiology and contribute to the development of novel, 3D printed materials with live yeast cells.
