JOB DESCRIPTION
Below the abstract of the CiTrY project you will be working on:
Microbial cell factories like specialized bacteria, yeast and fungi, are used to produce relevant compounds and engineered biomolecules such as commodities, fine chemicals, food ingredients and biopharmaceuticals.
Tailor-made robust microorganisms displaying novel biological behaviors produce these products in a non-chemical way utilizing nature's toolset, in general using renewable inputs such as glucose or industrial side streams.
C1 feedstocks, such as methane, methanol, formate, CO2 and CO, have important advantages over traditional organic carbon sources like glucose.
They are cheap, can be obtained from CO2 in a renewable way, do not compete as food or animal feed and do not require extensive pre-processing from complex agricultural side-streams.
Implementing C1 substrates in microbial cell factories would ensure a circular carbon economy that is inherently sustainable.However, due to the relative novelty of this approach, further work will be required to have abiotic C1 substrates compete with biological feedstocks.
The CiTrY project will contribute to this goal by investigating and improving transport mechanisms of the C1 substrates over outer and organelle membranes of the microbial cell factories.
Underexplored proteins and proteins families will be investigated, advanced protein engineering strategies and high-throughput screening will be conducted, and a novel organelle membrane targeting approach will be developed.
- At least 70% of your assignment will be spent on academic research.
- Other tasks include the guiding and coaching of PhD students, coordination and communication in relation to the CiTrY project, small tasks to support education, grant writing, etc.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- Experience with molecular biology, microbiology and advanced yeast strain engineering is essential.
- Experience with Komagataella phaffii (Pichia pastoris) production is strongly recommended.
- Experience with industrial biotechnology, synthetic biology, adaptive evolution or fermentation technology is a plus.
- Experience with transporter proteins and their engineering is a plus.
- Being fluent in English is essential, knowledge of Dutch is a plus.
- You proved to have scientific maturity and independence, and can think out of the box
- You can function in a project with tight deadlines where you have to interact with others at different scientific levels.
- You keep overview, you are good in coordination and can communicate and collaborate with partners and stakeholders with different backgrounds.
WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU
- We offer you a contract of indefinite duration with a maximum term of 2 years and 4 months. Initially there will be a contract of one year, that will be extended upon positive evaluation.
- Your contract will start on 1/08/2024 at the earliest.
