Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
University of Copenhagen
We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic researcher for a 3-year post doc position in Bacteriophage Engineering commencing on October 1st 2019 or as soon as possible hereafter.
The post doc will have a major role in developing novel custom-made antimicrobials exploiting the nature of bacteriophages as a part of the project Tailocin funded by The Independent Research fund Denmark.
Information on the department can be found at: https://ivh.ku.dk/english/
Our group and research
Our research group PHAGEBio studies the biology and applications of bacteriophages that have a natural ability to kill bacteria. The aim of our research is to elucidate novel mechanisms of phage-host interaction as well as exploiting phages and their enzymes to control pathogenic bacteria. We offer the opportunity to work in a state-of-the-art, highly innovative and scientifically stimulating environment. We value team work and consists of a group of ambitious researchers from all over the world and have a large network within the field of bacteriophages. We offer excellent training opportunities, both personally and professionally and the opportunity to contribute with new knowledge to an exciting and fast-moving scientific field.

Your job
The world-wide threat of antibiotic resistant bacteria has made WHO and EU emphasize the urgent need for innovative research to develop alternatives to antibiotics against Gram-negative pathogens. The aim of this project is to develop custom-made antimicrobials specifically targeting critical clinical and foodborne pathogens. This will be achieved by engineering the tail of a unique bacteriophage to carry multiple binding capacities derived from the huge diversity of phage receptor binding proteins found in nature.
As a post doc your main task will be to use synthetic biology to engineer bacteriophages to become antimicrobials that kill bacteria by puncturing the membrane. In addition, you will be responsible for engineering of phage receptor binding proteins in collaboration with the PhD fellow associated to the project. Finally, we expect you to reveal novel understanding of phage biology and phage-host interactions and contribute to other projects running in the PHAGEBio research group. The project is funded by The Independent Research fund Denmark.
