Postdoc in infection microbiology at Technical University of Denmark (DTU) -PhD Biology/Plant sciences-Apply

Description & Details: We are searching for a postdoctoral researcher to the ‘Infection Microbiology Group’ hosted by the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability (DTU Biosustain), at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).

The group is performing translational research based on a tight collaboration between the Infection Microbiology Group and the Department of Clinical Microbiology at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen concerning adaptive evolution, bacterial metabolism and metabolic network modeling, microbial infections and antibiotics.

The postdoc position is associated with the project:

Development of experimental in vitro infection models (incl biofilms)

Bacterial growth in human airways is associated with specific nutrient utilization and stress imposed by the immune system and frequent treatment with antibiotics. These conditions will be established through development of in vitro model systems involving artificial sputum medium (ASM) conditioned by stress factors such as active oxygen and nitrogen species and various concentrations of antibiotics. Such in vitro model systems will be employed throughout the entire research group.

Qualifications 
Candidates should have a PhD degree or equivalent.

Candidates should possess a PhD degree or equivalent, in medicine, chemical or biochemical engineering, biotechnology, biochemistry, molecular biology, or another relevant field. The successful candidate will have a well-documented experience in the field of microbial biofilms.
