PhD positions in Synthetic Biology Ghent University in Belgium

Postdoctoral Researcher in Fermentation Engineering, Metabolic Engineering, and Synthetic Biology at the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) in Golden, Colorado, United States. This full-time postdoctoral opening is in the RRES Center and focuses on the biological conversion of syngas (CO2, CO, H2) by an anaerobic acetogenic bacterium. The broader center works across renewable energy and materials for a circular economy, including synthetic biology, bioconversion, analytical sciences, compu...

Postdoctoral opportunity at Universitat Pompeu Fabra , Department of Medicine and Life Sciences, in Barcelona, Spain, focused on engineering biological timers and their applications. The project involves designing and building synthetic gene circuits to program time in cells, then characterizing, fine-tuning, and connecting these circuits to other circuits and actuator modules. This is a strong fit for researchers interested in synthetic biology , molecular biology , gene circuit design, and cel...
