København K
We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic researcher for a 2-year position in Geomicrobiology commencing 1 October 2021 or as soon as possible hereafter.
Your job
The aim of this project is to investigate if minerals can serve as unrecognized hotspots for the observed and alarming distribution of antibiotic resistance genes. You will have a central role in the project and be expected to carry out experiments to investigate biofilm formation on a range of mineral surfaces and conduct horizontal gene transfer experiments. Additionally, you will be involved in investigating organic matrices from natural samples using FTIR, Raman, atomic force microscopy and fluorescent staining. For the uptake rate experiments we aim to use natural competent soil bacteria, but experience with gene modifications can be beneficial. It will be expected that you can work independently with microbiology.
Group and research
The group is an interdisciplinary mix of skills and backgrounds. The combined focus of our work is mineral surfaces and interactions with organic matrices in particular DNA, proteins and microbes. The geomicrobiology side of our work are focused on biofilm formation on mineral surfaces and how gene transfer can be facilitated by different mineral surfaces. We also apply atomic force microscopy and infra-red spectroscopy combined with bulk level approaches to quantify dynamics of biofilm/DNA/protein interactions with environmentally relevant minerals. Beside the PI, the group consist of 2 Post docs and 2 PhD students. Collaboration, diversity (in all aspects) and work-life balance are core values in the group.
