About this position

The University of Gothenburg is seeking a postdoctoral fellow in glycobiology to investigate microbiota–host mucin interactions at the Institute of Biomedicine in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The project focuses on the colonic mucus layer, a protective barrier whose major components are mucins decorated with complex O-glycans. The research will examine how members of the human gut microbiota recognize, utilize and degrade these host glycans, addressing how gut bacteria evolved mechanisms for accessing complex carbohydrate structures.

The postdoctoral researcher will use proteomics to identify putative carbohydrate-active enzymes from gut bacterial species involved in host glycan utilization. Candidate enzymes will be recombinantly expressed and characterized using biochemical assays. The project will also involve generating deletion mutants of key enzymes to determine their roles in glycan utilization and identify enzymatic steps required for host-glycan degradation.

The position is based at the Institute of Biomedicine, an interdisciplinary research and education environment spanning infectious diseases, microbiology and immunology, medical biochemistry and cell biology, and laboratory medicine. The work offers a research setting combining anaerobic microbiology, proteomics, molecular biology, enzymology and glycobiology, with additional connections to mucin biology, bioinformatics, mass spectrometry and structural biology.

The project is supervised through contact with Ana Luis, Researcher at the University of Gothenburg.

Funding details

This is a full-time temporary postdoctoral employment for two years, with the possibility of a one-year extension. Salary is set individually by the University of Gothenburg.

What's required

Applicants must hold a doctoral degree, doctoral degree in art, or an equivalent foreign degree before the employment decision. Normally, the degree should have been completed no more than three years before the end of the application period, although exceptions may apply for documented special grounds. Ideal candidates have documented experience in anaerobic microbiology, proteomics, cloning, recombinant protein expression, biochemical techniques and characterization of carbohydrate-active enzymes. Experience in mucin biology, host glycans, bioinformatics, complex glycan mass spectrometry and structural biology is advantageous. Personal suitability and a clear interest in the subject area are emphasized.

How to apply

Submit the application through the University of Gothenburg recruitment portal using the “Apply” button. Include a cover letter describing previous research experience and motivation, a CV with publication list, proof of completed PhD, and contact details for two references.
