We are looking for PhD candidates to join the TACsy (Training Alliance for Computational Systems Chemistry) Marie-Skłodowska-Curie Joint Doctoral Network. This network consists of fifteen (15) highly interlinked PhD projects, of which this particular call is for project DC11 Design of Novel Pathways for Production of Bio-Based Chemicals in Multi-Enzyme Cascades. The application deadline is 27 June 2023. The anticipated start date is 1 September 2023, but flexibility in both directions is possible.
There is increasing interest in the production of chemicals from renewable bio-based feed-stocks in the transition to a circular economy. Great advances have been made in the use of biological pathways to replace traditional chemical routes, for example in the production of polylactic acid from lactic acid bacteria. However, there are limitations in exploiting living organisms and some processes remain uneconomical. Transformations may be achieved under wider conditions using non-natural cascade reactions involving multiple enzymes, and efforts have been made to split reactions into small functional units, which can be recombined into production pipelines for various applications.
The aim of this project is to develop computational methods for MEC modularization for the production of chemicals from biomass. The project will involve design of novel pathways for products such as bioplastics using computational techniques at University of Vienna, Austria and a nine-month secondment at the University of Sheffield, UK to develop microfluidics methods for screening relevant enzymatic reactions and “wet-lab debugging” approaches. You will also undergo a short secondment to Fluigent for training in microfluidics.
We are seeking a PhD candidate who has or is expected to have a Master’s degree in chemical/biochemical engineering, computer science, chemistry or related discipline at the time of recruitment. Some knowledge of enzyme kinetics, systems chemistry/biology or mathematical biology would be beneficial. Willingness to travel and work as part of an interdisciplinary team is essential!
The TACsy consortium encompasses 11 partners across six countries in Europe and North America, including both academic institutions and industrial partners. The consortium consists of world-class scientists with competences spanning chemistry, biochemistry, computer science, and machine learning. All fifteen doctoral candidates will work with two research groups, and will obtain a degree from both host institutions, and complete research stays either at world-leading industry partners or at prestigious non-European academic partners:
The candidates will all be part of a strong joint PhD training programme, with a focus on career development, application writing, communication skills, and community building through scientific summer schools.
All candidates will be expected to:

These positions are subject to the entry into force of grant agreement no 101072930 by and between the European Research Executive Agency and University of Southern Denmark and thereby funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme.
Application, salary etc.
The guaranteed Doctoral Candidate PhD funding from the European Commission is for 36 months. Therefore, appointment as a PhD research gellow is for three years. Employment stops automatically at the end of the period. The holder of the scholarship is not allowed to have other paid employment during the three-year period. Additional funding may be possible, depending on the local supervisor and in accordance with the regular PhD time in the country of origin.
All positions are fully funded, with very competitive salaries. More information on funding from the MSCA programme can be found here (beginning on page 78). Please note a country correction coefficient (page 109) applies to the living allowance in order to ensure equal treatment and purchasing power parity for all researchers. Salary rules apply to the doctoral candidates hosted in the European Union and will change depending on the host institution.
The TACsy project wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background. We are searching for a diverse group of candidates with very different backgrounds and qualities, who inspire and motivate each other. We want every talent to feel at home in our organisations and to have the same career opportunities. The position of working hours is flexible in order to accommodate individual needs and allow for the best possible work-life balance for each candidate.
Application must be in English and must include the following:
Applications must be submitted electronically using the link “Apply online”. Attached files must be in Adobe PDF or Word format. Each box can only contain a single file of max. 10 Mb. We strongly recommend that you read How to apply before you apply.
