丹麦技术大学2020年招聘高级研究员职位

The Bacterial Synthetic Biology Section at the Center for Biosustainability is led by Professor Morten Sommer. We work broadly within microbiology as it applies to industrial biotechnology, food production and human health. We develop and apply novel technologies within the fields of microbiome synthetic biology, lab evolution and multiplexed phenotyping. Our specific areas of interest include:

•Microbiome therapeutics

•Sustainable food production

•Drug resistance and collateral sensitivity

•Population heterogeneity in industrial bioprocesses

The specific research involves:•Design, construction and testing of engineered microorganisms as therapeutics. This work frequently includes collaborations with disease area specialists to supplement internal in vivo work.

•Development of engineered microorganisms for fermentation processes to generate novel food sources with a more sustainable footprint.

•Elucidation of antibiotic resistance evolution and collateral sensitivity – including using mechanistic and evolutionary insights to rationally design drug treatment regimens

•Investigate and mitigate population heterogeneity in industrial fermentations as it applies to biobased chemical, therapeutic and food production

Responsibililties and tasks

The senior researcher (co-principle investigator) in the Bacterial Synthetic Biology Section would work with the Principle Investigator Professor Morten Sommer on directing the research within the focus areas of the section. This would include supervision of staff, post docs and PhD students – currently comprising 25 individuals. In addition to these activities there would be a need to manage the collaborations of the group. Currently, the section has active collaborations with several groups across EU and US.

As a senior researcher (co-principle investigator) your day to day responsibilities include:•Supervision of PhD students to ensure progress of their studies towards graduation

•Direction of laboratory research projects, including coordination of activities between collaborators and team members

•Training of post docs to deliver research results and prepare for careers in industry or academia

•Work with group members to write research papers

•Support grant writing activities in the lab

Candidate profile

Candidates must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent), as well as academic qualifications equivalent to those obtained by holding a position as a researcher or postdoc.

A qualified candidate has a PhD degree in synthetic biology, molecular microbiology, microbiome research or similar. Following completion of the PhD the candidate should have successfully completed a post doc or industrial research position with demonstrated track record of delivering high impact research results. Although not required, it would be a significant advantage if you have experience in successfully leading a research team (industry or academia).

On a personal level our section strives for an environment which is motivated and ambitious while also being open, collaborative and friendly. We are motivated by the potential of our work to have a real impact on the world and generally we have an applied mind set. Accordingly, it is important that you as a candidate are able to interact positively with people, are a team player and have high ambitions. You should be a hard worker and be able to motivate people to perform at their best.

Assessment

In the assessment of the candidates, consideration will be given to:•Research impact and experience, funding track record, and research vision

•Experience and quality of teaching

•Societal impact

•Documented innovation activities, including commercialization and collaboration with industry

•International impact and experience

•Leadership potential and collaboration

•Communication skills

We offer

DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.
