The Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology is seeking a highly motivated and talented Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team in Jena, Germany.

Research Area

We are investigating the pathobiology of human-pathogenic fungi and developing novel natural product-based antiinfectives. The successful candidate will work on the discovery of novel (antimicrobial) natural products from the moss microbiome, a promising but understudied habitat.

Responsibilities
  • Collect bacterial strains from mosses
  • Use bioinformatics (metagenomics, genome mining) to identify novel biosynthetic gene clusters
  • Characterize promising gene clusters experimentally to isolate the corresponding natural products and determine their activities
Requirements
  • Doctoral degree in life sciences or chemistry
  • Experience in natural product isolation/characterization or bioinformatics (genome mining, metagenomics)
  • Experience in working with plants is an advantage
  • High-resolution mass spectrometry and metabolomics skills are a plus
  • Data analysis and programming skills are beneficial
What We Offer

The successful candidate will be hosted in the junior research group Secondary Metabolism of Microbial Interactions, led by Dr. Jethro Hemmann. We offer a multifaceted scientific project with excellent technical facilities, a place in a committed team, and strong scientific collaborations. Salary is paid according to German TV-L.

How to Apply

Complete applications in English should include a cover letter, a CV containing a complete list of publications, a brief statement of research experiences, a certificate of study/transcript of records, and the addresses of two possible referees. Applications should be submitted via the Leibniz-HKI online application system.
