Postdoc position 2010/11-Copenhagen University-Denmark

Posted by sakshi on May 30, 2010

The Department of Biology at The University of Copenhagen offers The Postdoc position in plasmid transfer and stability for the year 2010/11 in Denamrk

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is today recognized as being the most important factor for the rapid global dissemination of antimicrobial resistance. Plasmid-encoded antibiotic resistance giving rise to multi-resistance pathogenic bacteria may complicate the treatment of bacterial infections in humans. However, little is still known about the mechanisms controlling conjugal transfer and stability of resistance plasmids between different bacterial hosts. The postdoctoral position includes the study of various molecular mechanisms and factors (plasmid donors and recipients, plasmid host range, regulation of transfer genes etc.) favouring or minimizing horizontal gene transfer and plasmid stability in order to screen for compounds that can reduce plasmid-borne spread of antimicrobial resistance.

The Department of Biology at The University of Copenhagen offers The Four PhD stipends for the year 2010/11 in Denmark

The Centre for Social Evolution addresses general questions about the evolution, structure and functioning of societies, and uses mostly social insects as model systems. All research programs are interdisciplinary and use approaches from genetics (DNA analysis, genomics), evolutionary theory (kin-conflicts, geographic mosaics, host-symbiont conflicts), organic chemistry (recognition compounds), epidemiology (disease pressure), and microbiology (interactions with fungal or bacterial mutualists).

The Department of Biology at The University of Copenhagen offers The Postdoc position in Microbial Activity by Single Cell Detection for the year 2010/11 in Denmark

The overall objective of the proposed project is to establish a platform for more robust fermentation processes and production organisms by understanding and controlling heterogeneity. It is essential to optimise fermentation parameters for achieving the most efficient production process. In most research projects on this topic, the population of microorganisms was considered homogeneous. However, research has shown that a typical population of microorganisms in a fermentation is heterogeneous. Due to continued technological developments in different fields, for example in genetics and molecular biology (reporter systems), flow cytometry and microfluidics (micro-bioreactors), we have now finally reached a phase where the investigation of the effect of cultivation parameters on the heterogeneity of a microbial population has become possible, which is the focus of this project.

The Bioinformatics Centre offers The 3 Postdoc positions for the year 2010/11 in Denmark

The Bioinformatics Centre is recruiting 3 postdoctoral scientists for a period of 2 years with a possible 1-year extension to work on gene regulation bioinformatics projects in the Anders Krogh or Albin Sandelin research groups, possibly collaborating with the Ole Winther group. We expect the successful candidates to start in the fall of 2010. The Bioinformatics Centre employs around 25 researchers, and has many international connections to high-profile experimental groups. The groups are housed in the newly built Biocenter in central Copenhagen, Denmark.

The Department of Biology at The University of Copenhagen offers The Postdoc Position in Microbial Metagenomics for the year 2010/11 in Denamrk

Soil is by far the most species-rich of the Earth’s many microbial habitats with hundreds of thousands of different microbial species in a few grams. Soil will continue to be an important source of beneficial microorganisms for biotechnological exploitation, with a multitude of novel pharmaceuticals, antibiotics and enzymes from soil microorganisms awaiting discovery. In this project we will use high throughput sequencing to explore the bacterial biodiversity and composition in various natural environments to a hitherto unseen level.
