SDU Biotechnology section at Department of Green Technology, Faculty of Engineering, University of Southern Denmark (SDU) invites applications for one 1-year postdoc position in Microbial Biotechnology. Ideal candidate should have background in aerobic biotechnology, gas fermentation, bioconversion technologies, or bioprocess design. The position is funded by a Danish funding source. The project aims to understand titer limitation of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) in methanotrophs.
Expected start date and duration of employment
The postdoc position is 1 year and is available from 1st of February 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The project concerns the study of methanotrophic bacteria for the production of PHAs that are potential precursors for bioplastics. Our focus is on developing a biological process for the conversion of green methane to precursors of bioplastics. The study involves selections of methanotrophs using a wide range of methodological approaches within basic and applied sciences. Once selected the candidate will develop and optimize methods for growing high titer of PHAs in chemostats. The project has high flexibility depending on the results obtained during the system conceptualization, so we welcome innovative and creative ideas and a collaborative mindset.
The successful applicant for the postdoc position should have:
