PhD scholarship within new approaches to promote enzyme-assisted conversion - DTU Bioengineering

The Enzyme Technology group at DTU Bioengineering is looking for a highly qualified candidate for a 3-year PhD position within the field of industrial enzyme technology. The PhD project concerns the development of novel enzyme-based conversion concepts and new robust enzymes for conversion of 1-carbon substrates and synthetic polymer materials.

Field of Research The field of research is advanced industrial enzyme technology. A particular target of the PhD work is aimed at identifying enzymes and reaction criteria for degradation of CO2 related substrates, and targets new ways of boosting the action of redox enzymes in general.

The PhD project is tied to our international research efforts on enzyme-assisted recycling processes and involves collaboration with Australian scientists and a research stay at UNSW, Sydney, Australia is planned as a part of the PhD position. If you are seeking to establish your career as a top-level applied enzyme technology scientist whose results can help build a sustainable future, this PhD is for you!

Responsibilities and qualifications The position involves research work from enzyme discovery to detailed characterization of enzyme function, and targets understanding of reaction kinetics, enzyme catalytic mechanism, and enzyme protein characteristics1 …
