Job Opportunity

We are seeking an exceptional Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team at the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology. As part of our junior research group, you will contribute to the discovery of novel natural products and their applications in antimicrobial research.

About the Project

Our team is focused on investigating interactions in the moss microbiome, a promising but understudied habitat for natural product discovery. You will collect bacterial strains from mosses, use bioinformatics to identify novel biosynthetic gene clusters, and characterize promising gene clusters experimentally to isolate and determine the activities of corresponding natural products.

Your Profile
  • 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 in Python are beneficial
  • Excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken
What We Offer

As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to work in a highly integrative network of life science groups, with access to state-of-the-art research facilities and a place in a committed team. We offer a multifaceted scientific project, excellent technical facilities, and strong scientific collaborations. Salary is paid according to German TV-L.

How to Apply

Complete applications in English should include a cover letter, CV, brief statement of research experiences, certificate of study/transcript of records, and addresses of two possible referees. Submit your application via our online system. We aim to increase the proportion of underrepresented groups in case of equal suitability.
