This is an exciting opportunity to work in the School of Agriculture at the University of Reading and to collaborate with internationally leading researchers from across Europe. The project involves 10 EU partners, and the University of Reading is leading a Work Package that brings together the research and stakeholder community to ensure the tools and technologies being developed are relevant for multiple stakeholder communities across the EU.
The applicant should have:
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position for up to 2 years and 10 months in the research group of Associate professor Rikke Louise Meyer. The position is available from October 1st, 2021 or as soon as possible hereafter. Application deadline: 15. August 2022.
Job description/research project/research area
The
position is funded by a recently awarded grant Danish Council for
Independent Research entitled “Emergent functions of extracellular DNA:
The glue, the shield, the catalyst, and the electron shuttle.” The aim
of this research is to visualize the abundance of secondary DNA
structures among the extracellular DNA of bacterial biofilms, and
determine the functional properties of these structures, e.g. the
binding of small molecules, strengthened mechanical properties,
extracellular electron transfer, and protection against DNAses.
Your profile
You
should hold a PhD in molecular biology, microbiology, nanoscience,
chemistry, or similar, and have a passion for interdisciplinary
research. You will be growing bacterial biofilms and visualize matrix
components by confocal laser scanning microscopy and super-resolution
microscopy. You will collaborate with research groups in the UK and
Germany to measure extracellular electron transfer in biofilms, and you
will use a suite of biophysical techniques to characterize biofilms and
matrix components by e.g. circular dichroism and atomic force
microscopy.
The Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center and the research group
The
place of work is iNANO, the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center
(www.inano.au.dk), which was established in 2002 and at present is a
major research and education center based at Aarhus University hosting
60 senior scientists, ~100 Postdocs and ~100 PhD students. The center
combines expertise and faculty from Physics, Chemistry, Molecular
biology and Medicine to carry out world class interdisciplinary research
in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. The center gives access to a broad
range of infrastructure, tools and expertise including clean-room
facilities. With a 5 year undergraduate nanotechnology program and
nanoscience graduate program (www.inanoschool.au.dk) the center provides
a full educational environment. In addition to the large base of basic
research, the center has a large number of ongoing industrial projects
and partnerships.
Rikke Louise Meyer’s research group (https://inano.au.dk/about/research-groups/biofilm-group)
works on interdisciplinary projects centered around bacterial biofilms:
How they form and gain tolerance to antibiotics, and how they can be
prevented or treated in industrial or clinical settings.
Place of work and area of employment
The
place of work is Gustav Wieds Vej 14, 8000 Aarhus C and the area of
employment is Aarhus University with related departments.
