Postdoctoral Researcher in Biotechnology and Applied Microbiology
4 weeks ago
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team of researchers working on cell factory design of both baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and non-conventional yeast species. The project aims to design and create novel, 3D printed materials containing live yeast cells.
Key Responsibilities- Design and create novel, 3D printed materials containing live yeast cells
- Use sophisticated genetic engineering tools to improve inherent yeast properties and provide the yeast with completely new properties such as environmental responsiveness, metabolite production, and ability to form volumetric material constructs
- Collaborate with material chemists and architects to develop sustainable, nature-based materials and 3D printing technologies
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.
Research EnvironmentThe postdoc position is placed at the Department of Biology and Biological Engineering, 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.
