Dina arbetsuppgifter
The EU Marie Curie training network Cornucopia ( http://www.biologi.lu.se/upload/biologi/CORNUCOPIA_PhDadvertisement.pdf ) will train a new generation of young scientists focusing on less studied yeasts with interesting traits, which could be applied in the food and health sectors. The yeast kingdom includes more than 1.500 other species that display a variety of unusual characteristics but have so far been only poorly studied. These yeasts represent a large untapped potential to develop novel food and health related processes and products. You will investigate genes behind carbon metabolism, aromas and/or probiotic properties in nonconventional yeasts, using molecular biology, in vitro evolution, genomic and post-genomic, and genetic tools. You will "domesticate" new isolates and develop mutant strains which can be easily handled in the lab and even used for applied purposes. In addition to pursuing postgraduate studies, the doctoral student may also perform other duties, including research, teaching and administration, according to the specific university and department regulations.
Behörighet
For all Marie Curie Fellows EU restrictions regarding mobility apply. At the time of the relevant deadline for submission of proposals, or selection by the host organisation, depending on the action, researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc) in Sweden for more than 12 months during the 3 years immediately prior to the reference date. The Ph.D. applicants should have less than 4 years of research experience.
Applicants for the Ph.D. positions must hold a M.Sc. degree or equivalent courses to an extent of at least 240 credits, of which at least 60 are at advanced level, or corresponding proficiencies. The obtained degrees should be in the area of Biological Sciences, Biotechnology, Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Medical Sciences or equivalent. The student must be able to communicate orally and in writing in English at a satisfactory level. A good background in molecular genetics, biochemistry and molecular biology is necessary. Documented experience with yeast molecular genetics and/or fermentation techniques is an advantage.
Bedömningsgrund
Regulations for employment as a postgraduate student can be found in the Swedish Statute Book (SFS 1998:80). Only those admitted to postgraduate studies can be appointed to such a position. When appointing applicants to such a position, first and foremost their ability to benefit from postgraduate studies must be taken into consideration. In addition to pursuing postgraduate studies, the doctoral student may also perform other duties, including research, teaching and administration, according to the specific regulations.
