These metabolites further play important roles in microbial interactions and communication. For the discovery of novel (antimicrobial) natural products, we are investigating interactions in the moss microbiome – a promising, but so far understudied habitat. The candidate will collect bacterial strains from mosses and use bioinformatics (metagenomics, genome mining) to identify novel biosynthetic gene clusters in the moss microbiome. Promising gene clusters will be characterized experimentally to isolate the corresponding natural products and determine their activities.

The project is supported by the Free State of Thuringia and the European Social Fund Plus. Your profile: Doctoral degree in life sciences or chemistry (e.g. [chemical] biology, biochemistry, microbiology, bioinformatics, or a related discipline) Experience in natural product isolation / characterization or experience in natural product bioinformatics (genome mining, metagenomics) Experience in working with plants is an advantage Experience in high-resolution mass spectrometry and metabolomics is a plus Data analysis and (Python) programming skills are beneficial Very good communication skills in English, both written and spoken Well-developed collaborative skills We offer: The successful candidate will be hosted in the junior research group Secondary Metabolism of Microbial Interactions , led by Dr. Jethro Hemmann . The Leibniz-HKI is embedded in the outstanding scientific environment of the Beutenberg Campus providing state-of-the-art research facilities and a highly integrative network of life science groups.
