Duties: In your PhD studies, you will use molecular biology/biochemistry and analytical chemistry approaches to characterize the glycosylation patterns that are prevalent in surface proteins of one of the major species groups of the human microbiome (species of the Bacteroidota phylum). This will involve using mass spectrometry and NMR based approaches, as well as synthetic biology techniques, to gain molecular insight into this protein modification. You will also identify and characterize the enzymatic pathways responsible for this modification. You will learn how to use advanced bacterial culture conditions to grow the species of the human gut microbiome in the absence of oxygen. You will also learn how to analyze large datasets
Requirements: To be admitted for studies at third-cycle level you are required to have completed a second-cycle level degree, or completed course requirements of at least 240 ECTS credits, of which at least 60 ECTS credits are at second-cycle level or have an equivalent education from abroad, or equivalent qualifications; Basic experience in the lab; Background knowledge of chemistry, biochemistry, or related areas; Background knowledge of NMR and mass spectrometry; Good oral and written proficiency in English

Duration: 2 y
Duties: The research aims to fill in the gaps by assessing how the ecological communities of pollinators, plants and microbes are structured and how they function, in regard to plant usage and microbe sharing, in different environments, and in the presence and in the absence of managed pollinators. We use cutting-edge molecular tools, namely DNA metabarcoding and metagenomics to identify the interacting taxa. We study pollination communities primarily in the Boreal zone, but also in the Arctic
Requirements: The successful candidate should have a PhD in community ecology, functional ecology, or a closely related field. Previous experience is required in at least one of the following: fieldwork in terrestrial ecosystems, DNA metabarcoding, and advanced statistical methods in community ecology. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, ability to conceive, execute and complete research projects, ability to think independently and creatively as well as ability to work in a team and independently are expected. Experience in working with questions and methods related pollinators, plants and/or microbes is meriting

Duties: The Department of Computing Science is now looking for a Doctoral student in cybersecurity with a focus on DDoS attacks and defence strategies for the cloud-edge continuum
Requirements: The general admission requirements for doctoral studies are a second- cycle level degree

Duties: The main task for the postdoctoral researcher is to engage in independent research activities. He/she will also participate in other parts of the research group’s overall activities, which may involve supervising doctoral students and students, participating in seminars and journal clubs, writing scientific articles and presenting new findings at international meetings
Requirements: A person who has been awarded a doctorate or a foreign qualification deemed to be the equivalent of a doctorate in medical bioscience is eligible for appointment as postdoctoral researcher. This eligibility requirement must be met no later than the time at which the appointment decision is made. The applicant should also have a background in biomedical experimental science with experience in bioinformatic analysis methods

Duties: The postdoctoral researcher is expected to participate in development and establishment of new methodology in the lab, actively participate in the design and execution of experiments, data analysis and to present and publish results. The successful candidate is also expected to participate in research-related activities within the research group such as group meetings, journal clubs, departmental seminars, and to participate in national and/or international meetings
Requirements: We are seeking a highly motivated applicant that has documented laboratory experience in molecular biology, microbiology, and biochemical methods. You should have hands on experiences in molecular cloning, expression of recombinant proteins and preferable biochemical analyses of DNA-protein interactions. You should have a strong relevant research output, as evidenced by first authorship, or publications presenting ground-breaking research findings within areas that concern mechanisms that control gene expressions or host-parasite interactions

Duties: In your PhD studies, you will carry out research aimed at dissecting how virus particles assemble. You will characterize multi-component complexes involved in the assembly of viruses from the family Pneumoviridae and compare these to related viral families. Using a multi-modal structural biology and biophysics approach you will analyze structure and dynamics of these complexes to dissect the steps of viral assembly. You will employ both reduced in vitro systems to gain high resolution information, as well as large assemblies to gain ultrastructural insight
Requirements: Experience in infection biology; Knowledge and experience in biochemistry and structural biology within experimental biochemistry and molecular biology (e.g., cloning, protein expression, protein purification, cell culture); Good oral and written proficiency in English

Duties: We are recruiting a PhD student to work on a project aimed at manipulating plant development using microProtein engineering. MicroProteins are small single-domain proteins that have been shown to control diverse biological pathways. While some microProteins are encoded as individual genes, we have evidence that other microProteins might be hiding in genes and are dynamically expressed in response to changes in the environment. We aim to dissect light and magnetosensing signaling pathways to understand the biotechnological potential of these small proteins and aim to use them as tools to engineer biosynthetic pathways. In the project we will employ forward, and reverse genetics approaches in Arabidopsis plants and yeast, protein biochemistry and biochemical engineering
Requirements: For this position, we are looking for a person interested in molecular plant biology. We expect the candidate to have an academic background in Plant biology, Agronomy, Biotechnology, or a related field. The successful applicant should have good skills in written and spoken English. Strong merits include experience with the analysis of large-scale sequencing data and/or plant transformation. We are looking for a creative and initiative rich person who can work independently but who can also collaborate within a larger research group. Evaluation of candidates will be based on the application and on interviews
