The Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) with its 1,100 employees has gained an excellent reputation as an international competence centre for environmental sciences. We are part of the largest scientific organisation in Germany, the Helmholtz association. Our mission: Our research seeks to find a balance between social development and the long-term protection of our natural resources.
We offer a Scientist position (f/m/x) for three years (65% working time) within the DFG priority program “Engineered Living Materials with Adaptive Functions” (SPP2451; https://spp2451.de/). The position can be used to prepare a doctoral thesis. The aim of the project is the construction of an electrically-conducting link between a membrane-bound respiratory metalloprotein of a microbial cell and a conductive polymer. The partner project is focussing on the materials part while we will work on the biochemical part, making use of synthetic biology and non-canonical amino acid expression.
- Adaptation of a strain incorporating non-canonical amino acids
- Heterologous expression of a membrane-attached metalloprotein containing non-canonical amino acids
- Click-chemistry to attach the protein to a conductive surface provided by our partner group
- Protein mass spectrometry and cyclic voltammetry to characterize the constructs
