Job Description

•    The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will work in a recently granted project to develop enzymes and biotransformations for the synthesis of chiral amines.
•    The research tasks include engineering of new enzymes by directed evolution, investigation of enzyme catalysis and kinetics, optimization of biosynthesis yield and process, and development of single-step and/or one-pot cascade enzymatic reactions for the production of chiral amines

Qualifications

•    PhD trained in biochemical engineering, biocatalysis, biotransformation, biochemistry, biotechnology, synthetic biology, or bioorganic chemistry.  
•    Experience in enzyme engineering, directed evolution, enzymatic reactions, reaction engineering and optimization, whole-cell biotransformations, and/or process development.
•    Good communication skills in oral and written English.
•    Good publication record.
