Job description
With reference to the project manager, the work of the PhD student will consist mainly of duties in connection with research and development within the area of engineering of plant biosynthetic pathways of bioactive components in microorganisms. This project will place particular emphasis on, but is not limited to natural products like glucosinolates. The project will include transport engineering to ensure proper compartmentalization.
The appointee should have competence appropriate for research within the following areas:
Yeast genetics
Mass spectrometry for metabolite profiling
Flux analysis
Protein characterization and modelling
Transport proteins
Qualification requirements
In connection with the appointment to the post special importance will be attached to the applicant having the professional and personal qualifications stated below:
Passed Master´s degree in a subject area appropriate to the project described above.
The PhD student is also required to have research potential, to be enterprising and to possess good interpersonal skills.
