Postdoc position: Cyanobacterial biotransformations (Project PD 3.2) Graz University of Technology in Austria

The Cluster of Excellence Circular Bioengineering is advertising a postdoctoral position for Project PD 3.1 : Mechanistic investigation of oxidoreductases for the synthesis of biobased chemicals . The position is based at Graz University of Technology in Graz, Austria, and is embedded in Program 3, Biocatalytic Processes for Sustainable Synthesis , with strong links to research groups working on enzymatic synthesis and bioprocess engineering. The project investigates how enzymes catalyze the upg...

PhD opportunity: Development of new-to-nature enzymatic reactivity for applications in organic synthesis at the University of Cambridge , Department of Chemistry, in the Mateo Sanchez Lab. The project sits at the interface of chemistry and biology and focuses on discovering and developing new-to-nature reactivity using engineered enzymes. Research activities include substrate synthesis using traditional synthetic chemistry, screening campaigns to identify and optimise enzymatic activity, structu...

PhD position available at BOKU University in Tulln, Austria (near Vienna) on green polymers from plant oils . The project, From Mixtures to Models: Plant-Oil Polymer Networks , is FWF-funded and aims to understand how the molecular structure of plant oils influences the properties of the resulting polymers. The research will involve synthesizing well-defined building blocks from plant oils, converting them into polymer networks, and characterizing their properties. This opportunity is well suite...

Leiden University in Leiden, The Netherlands, invites applications for a full-time PhD position on Bacterial Packaging of Biocatalytic Nanofactories . The project is embedded in the Leiden Institute of Chemistry and the Macromolecular Biochemistry group within the Faculty of Science, in the laboratory of Prof. Lars Jeuken. The research will develop and exploit a technology for packaging biocatalysts inside lipid vesicles during bacterial expression. The resulting liposome-encapsulated systems wi...

Industrial Property Cooperation Center (IPCC) is recruiting an Advanced Technology Researcher (Patent Search Specialist) in the Applied Chemistry / Materials area. The role is based in Tokyo, Japan and focuses on patent-related technical work rather than a university research appointment. The main duties include prior-art searches for patent examination under contract from the Japan Patent Office, as well as classification assignment work such as FI and F-term classification for patent applicati...
