Das Department BZF sucht wiss. Mitarbeitende (d/m/w) für den Aufbau der Service Infrastruktur und die Mobilisierung von Daten für die bundesweite Biodiversitätsforschung im Rahmen der Nationalen Forschungsdaten Infrastruktur NFDI4Biodiversity.

In der AG BioGeoOmics entwickeln wir neue bio- und chemoinformatische Softwaretools, um die Analyse großer Mengen an Daten aus Massenspektrometern zu verbessern und zu erweitern. Wir nutzen diese Tools zu Erforschung von komplexen chemischen Mischungen in der Umwelt.

We seek a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher (f/m/x) to provide support in the analysis of projects originating from the CLUE-TERRA consortium (https://www.ufz.de/index.php?en=47300). This consortium was founded by the Microbial Data Science group (led by Dr. Nunes da Rocha, https://www.ufz.de/index.php?en=43659) and consists of the collaborative effort of more than 16 working groups from Europe, United States of America and Brazil.

The data generated from this consortium consists of more than 51 000 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) assembled from over 6000 samples collected from terrestrial environments. The postdoctoral researcher (f/m/x) will focus on the coordination of the several projects as well as perform community and statistical analysis.

We seek a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to work in projects involving the analysis of more than 400 samples collected from bioreactors to large-scale biogas plants originated from the collaborative effort between the Microbial Data Science group (led by Dr. Nunes da Rocha, https://www.ufz.de/index.php?en=43659) and MICAS group (led by Dr. Kleinsteuber, https://www.ufz.de/index.php?en=38431). The postdoctoral researcher will focus on the coordination of the several projects involved with bioinformatics and microbial ecology in constructed ecosystems. Further, the postdoctoral researcher will participate in the wet-lab preparation of the samples for sequencing (DNA and RNA extractions). Additionally, the postdoctoral researcher will focus on the reconstruction of genomes from metagenomes, multi-omics analysis and writing the manuscripts for publication.

We are seeking an enthusiastic person to fill a PhD position (65% TVöD 13, 3 years) funded by the DFG SPP2240 project ePseudomonas. The project aims to develop a universal tunable electro-fermentation platform using metabolically engineered Pseudomonas putida for the biosynthesis of high-value chemicals of industrial interests.

We are looking for a highly motivated student with knowledge in organic analytical chemistry, interested in FT-ICR Mass Spectrometry.
