We're looking for a new colleague to join our team:

The New Bioactive Compound section of DTU Biosustain is dedicated to
finding the next generation of antimicrobial lead compounds by
integrating innovative screening approaches, computational biology and
metabolic engineering. Within the Novo Nordisk Foundation funded
Challenge Grant project "Integration of Informatics and Metabolic
Engineering for the discovery of Novel Antibiotics" (IIMENA) we are
currently setting up a streamline pipeline in collaboration with
international partner institutions from Spain and South Korea.

Within the IIMENA project, we will identify a huge number of
actinomycetes producing bioactive compounds against our panel of
clinical test organisms. Many of these strains will be sequenced and
subjected to genome mining for the biosynthetic gene clusters encoding
the production of the bioactive compounds. In order to reach this
ambitious goal, we are searching for an excellent postdoctoral
scientist to develop and implement computational tools and workflows to
rapidly identify and characterize biosynthetic pathways for secondary
metabolites and their bioactivities as a basis for further engineering
of the biosynthetic pathways.

Also feel free to contact either Tilmann (tiwe at biosustain.dtu.dk) or me
with any questions about this position.

Best regards,
Kai
