GEOMAR Research Unit Marine Natural Products Chemistry / GEOMAR Centre for Marine Biotechnology is seeking an experienced
Post-doctoral researcher (m/f/d) in ‘‘Marine Microbial Natural Product Chemistry’’
The position is available for 3 years starting at the earliest date possible.
Job Description
We are seeking a skilled and motivated post-doctoral researcher who will work in ecology -driven marine drug discovery project(s). One main task will be the investigation of the (cultivable) microbiome of robust / invasive marine organisms i) to unravel their contribution to the overall fitness of the host organism through production of bioactive secondary metabolites, ii) to identify their potential, simultaneously, for drug discovery against human diseases. Both “one-microbe-at-a-time” and the “Synthetic microbial Community (SynCom)” approaches will be employed for microbial cultivations.
The responsibilities of the candidate will involve innovative cultivation and extraction of marine microorganisms; investigating their chemical capacity by comparative genomics and metabolomics (computational untargeted metabolomics using LC-MS/MS-based molecular networks); fractionation of the extracts; LC-MS and bioactivity-guided isolation and structure elucidation of the purified metabolites. The candidate will supervise/train students and maintain analytical equipment. He:She will cooperate with other large collaborative projects of the research group.
