Research area: Natural products, especially of bacterial or fungal origin, are an important source of new antibiotics. 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 use a combination of bioinformatics and metabolomics methods to determine the biosynthetic potential of moss-associated bacteria, select promising strains for (co)cultivation, isolate and characterize novel natural products, and determine their bioactivities. To complement the young and committed team, we are seeking two excellent and enthusiastic PhD candidates to start in January 2025 . The project is supported by the Free State of Thuringia and the European Social Fund Plus. Your profile: Master’s degree (or equivalent) in life sciences or chemistry (e.g. [chemical] biology, biochemistry, microbiology, bioinformatics, or a related discipline) Strong interest in the interdisciplinary research of natural products, biosynthetic pathways / enzymes, and microbial interactions Experience in working with microorganisms, if possible also with plants Experience in chemistry (natural product isolation and purification) or analytical chemistry (LC-MS, NMR) is an advantage Data analysis and (Python) programming skills are a plus Very good communication skills in English, both written and spoken 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. We offer a multifaceted scientific project with excellent technical facilities, a place in a committed team, as well as strong scientific collaborations. The PhD candidate will participate in the structured program of the International Leibniz Research School and can become an associated member of the Jena School of Microbial Communication . Salary is paid according to German TV-L (salary agreement for public service employees).
