Postdoc in Synthetic Biology at Wageningen University and Research Centre, The Netherlands
- We are looking for an enthusiastic, motivated Postdoc on Synthetic Biology with a strong background in or affinity with experimental work in microorganisms. Candidates should be proficient in molecular biology, proactive, independent, team player and have the ability to engage with professionals in adjoining fields. The candidate should apply the concepts of synthetic biology enhance our understanding of the fundamental principles of signalling and regulatory networks in living organism, to generate a mechanistic understanding with the aim of constructing novel synthetic systems. Experience and willingness to interact with colleagues on large-scale genome engineering and re-factoring, and interplay of the circuits designed and the host chassis (eg. through omics and detailed biochemical measurements) will be a substantial bonus. Using an interdisciplinary and integrated approach the candidate should be able to work on a small scale/network level to develop/design, e.g., sensing devices for synthetic signalling networks within and across cells or the design of (opto) signal-sensing systems. The candidate should have working experience or be interested in applying in designing and implementing synthetic networks exhibiting complex dynamic behaviour, such as adjustable time-delayed expression kinetics, tuneable synthetic oscillators or modular logic gates. He/she should be interested in applying mathematical, physical and engineering principles in the design process.
