  • Characterize the effects of modified gene expression of selected species on the metabolomic level of the various species and the overall community metabolism by mass-spectrometry based targeted and untargeted metabolomics and metaproteomics.
  • Integrate the omics-results with bioinformatic approaches and also with the results from genome-based metabolic modelling to identify pathways of metabolic regulation within the various species and in the species-species interaction.
  • Participate in laboratory group meetings including presentation of results.
  • Present your results at international conferences and prepare publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

We Offer

  • Excellent supervision and optimal professional and interdisciplinary qualification through our HIGRADE graduate programme.
