We are looking for a talented postdoctoral researcher to be the driving force of a project initiated through a Novo Nordic Foundation project grant titled Time-resolved studies studies of the Lytic Polysaccharide MonoOxygenase reactions.
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases are copper metalloenzymes able to cleave saccharide linkages. Initially discovered due to their biotechnological potential in saccharification of recalcitrant biomass, many biological roles are recognized nowadays. A number of mechanistic questions remain unsolved and in this project we will particularly apply cutting edge serial crystallography as a main technique, to probe various aspects of the catalytic reaction in a time-resolved fashion and near-atomic resolution. The successful applicant will implement novel methodologies in the group and have a close collaboration with a PhD student also involved in the project, and synchrotron beamlines, particularly Micromax and Biomax in Lund, but also other European facilities. A certain amount of travel to the facilities and/or a longer stay of some months is expected for the successful candidate.
The project will be carried out in the group of Prof Lo Leggio )◀ at the Department of Chemistry, who has many years of expertise in the structure and function of carbohydrate modifying enzymes, in particularly LPMOs. Here we have for several years focused on a model system where we have applied a number of non-standard advanced crystallographic techniques e.g. in dose resolved studies.
We are looking for a candidate with
Other highly desirable skills are
The postdoc’s duties will include research within the above project as well as teaching. We share also a number of lab duties, which in this case will likely include organizing synchrotron trips and shipping for the group. The post may also include performance of other duties.

The position must preferably start on 1. January 2026 and is available for two years.
The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
Terms of employment
The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff.
Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State.
Negotiation for salary supplement is possible.

The deadline for applications is 7 October 2025.
The further process
After the expiry of the deadline for applications, the authorized recruitment manager selects applicants for assessment on the advice of the hiring committee. All applicants are then immediately notified whether their application has been passed for assessment by an unbiased assessor. Once the assessment work has been completed each applicant has the opportunity to comment on the part of the assessment that relates to the applicant him/herself.

We are looking for a candidate with
- very strong background in macromolecular crystallography, including crystal handling, mounting, data collection and data processing at synchrotrons and/or XFEL, structure determination and refinement. Applicants with insufficient experience in crystallography will not be considered.
- competences in structural enzymology (preferably on metalloenzymes or carbohydrate-active enzymes)
- ideally, experience in serial crystallography and/or complemnetary spectroscopy in crystals
- preferably, experience in protein expression, purification and crystallization
- should no applicant fulfil all requirements, some may be levied however applicants with no crystallography experience will not be considered. In this context, please note that experience in crystallization alone is not considered experience in crystallography.
Other highly desirable skills are
- Demonstrated ability to work in interdisciplinary teams and supervise younger students
- Experience with shipping crystals and organizing synchrotron trips
- Excellent written and oral communication in English
