Technische Universität Dresden - Faculty of Mechanical Science and Engineering, Institute of Natural Materials Technology, Chair of Bioprocess Engineering
The TU Dresden is one of eleven German universities that were identified as an “excellence university”. TUD has about 36.500 students and almost 5319 employees, 507 professors among them, and, thus, is the largest university in Saxony, today.
Having been committed to sciences and the engineering before the reunification of Germany, TU Dresden now is a multi-discipline university, also offering humanities and social sciences as well as medicine.
Working field:
You will be involved in our work in a project with international partners on the development of bacterial strains for the microbial production of value-added chemicals. Your tasks will include molecular biology and enzymology work to develop new enzyme activities that will be used to build new metabolic pathways. In particular, you will develop a new method for screening enzyme variants for improved activities at extremely high throughput.
Requirements:
university degree (Diploma/Master) in bioprocess engineering, biotechnology, biochemistry or a comparable discipline. In addition, you should have (or be willing to acquire) solid mathematical and statistical skills to perform and evaluate deep sequencing experiments.
Practical experience with molecular biology techniques and/or enzyme characterization is desired.
How to apply:
Applications from women are particularly welcome. The same applies to people with disabilities.
