We are looking for a Doctoral Candidate (m/f/d) “Biocatalysis with oxygen (Boxy)” The research project and environment: This project deals with the investigation and engineering of NADH oxidases involved in enzymatic cascades for the production of fuels and other valuable chemicals from renewable raw materials. The project is realized together with our partners from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). During your PhD you will have the opportunity to do a three-months research stay at the DTU. Your position is funded by the International Graduate School of Science and Engineering (IGSSE). During your PhD you will be part of IGSSE and you will have the opportunity to be part of an international and interdisciplinary qualification program designed by IGSSE. Furthermore, you will experience many benefits as a member of IGSSE (https://www.igsse.gs.tum.de/en/igsse/home/). You will be part of the Chair of Chemistry of Biogenic Resources at the Technical University of Munich at the TUM Campus Straubing for Biotechnology and Sustainability. The Campus has been active in the field of biocatalysis for more than a decade. The site as a whole develops processes for sustainable and environmentally friendly chemical production. For this purpose, natural scientists, engineers, ecosystem scientists and economists work closely together in teaching and research.
