Postdoc in Enzyme Engineering for Methane Bioconversion - BRIGHT

Job description

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to establish and develop a new research line on engineering methane monooxygenases for methane conversion at BRIGHT. If you are building your career as a scientist and want to work at the forefront of protein bioinformatics and synthetic biology, this is an opportunity to help define a new research direction. The position combines structure-based modelling of proteins and membrane environments with experimental validation in bacterial hosts and is ideally suited for candidates with experience in structural modelling, molecular simulations, and heterologous protein expression. The successful candidate will play a key role in building new workflows and experimental platforms within the group. Responsibilities and qualifications: Your overall focus will be to establish a computational-experimental pipeline for engineering methane monooxygenases and enabling their function in heterologous bacterial hosts. You will work at the interface of protein design, membrane simulations, bacterial engineering, and synthetic biology, contributing to the development of a new research direction within the group. The position involves close collaboration with c...
