Frederiksberg C
The Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in microalgae synthetic biology, financed by a Sapere Aude grant from the Independent research council Denmark.
The start date is 1 February 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The project
Microalgae have played a monumental role in transforming Earth's atmosphere from one rich in carbon dioxide (CO₂) to one abundant in oxygen (O₂). This transformation, which unfolded over billions of years, set the stage for the evolution of complex life forms.
Today microalgae is used in biomanufacturing of food ingredient including omega-3 fatty acids, and pro-vitamin that made from CO2 using only seawater, inorganic salts and sun light. This project will employ genome engineering to improve algae biomanufacturing and expand the range of products that can made using these light driven biofactories.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for candidates within the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, bioinformatics or biotechnology, who wish to join a dynamic research group working on microalgae molecular biology. Applicants can have a background in elucidation/characterization of metabolic pathways, microalgae molecular biology/biochemistry, metabolic engineering or synthetic biology.
Our group and research- and what do we offer?
The successful applicant will join the Andersen-Ranberg group, which specializes microalgae molecular biology. The N. oceanica acetate metabolism engineering will be carried out in collaboration with the Nour-Eldin group.
The A-Ranberg group is a part of the Section for Plant Biochemistry, which hosts several research groups working on synthetic biology, plant natural product biosynthesis, including cyanogenic glucosides, terpenoids, and saponins. The Section belongs to the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, which hosts eight Sections spanning from molecular biology to crop science and environmental chemistry.
We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment. Our research facilities include modern laboratories, plant growth facilities, and a metabolomics platform hosted within the Section.
The principal supervisor is Associate Professor Johan Andersen-Ranberg, Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, [email protected].
The PhD programme
A three year full-time study within the framework of the regular PhD programme (5+3 scheme), if you already have an education equivalent to a relevant Danish master’s degree.
