Postdoc in Yeast Synthetic Biology and Fungal Receptor Signalling - DTU Bioengineering

We are seeking an ambitious postdoctoral researcher to join our pioneering research project at DTU Bioengineering, section for Synthetic Biology. The position is at the forefront of yeast synthetic biology and receptor signalling, aiming at engineering Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells to express fungal receptors for investigating naturally occurring interacting ligands that govern fungal behaviour.

This position offers a chance to push the frontiers of yeast synthetic biology toward understanding the mechanisms that drive virulence in plant-infecting fungi. You are expected to take a lead investigator role with support from senior team members.

You will collaborate closely with national and international research groups to align the yeast engineering with direct applications and emerging needs in phytopathogenic fungal biology research. Responsibilities and qualifications Within this project, the successful candidate will be responsible for leading the following efforts:

• - Build and characterize engineered yeast strains and synthetic biology systems (e.g., DNA design, cloning, PCR, plasmid building, genetic engineering, mutagenesis, sequencing, cell cultivation).
• - Engage with project collaborators and lead collaborative activities.
• - Ensuring that project milestones are met1 …
