Postdoctoral Researcher Position at the CBGP (UPM-INIA/CSIC)

(CBGP-Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence Research Programme)

- Project Title: Engineering multi-functional microbes for plant-related applications (EMMA)

- Position Reference: PLANTG_04_EMMA

We are seeking an enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher who is passionate about understanding and engineering genetic circuits in bacterial cells. Within this project, you will optimise existing genetic parts to work on different cellular hosts—that is, to shape their context dependency behaviour. You will be using directed evolution methods to find robust and efficient parts and setting up modular cloning techniques for the high-throughput assembly of genetic circuits. The project you will join aims at applying synthetic biology approaches to agriculture, for which developing reliable genetic circuits in environmental species is at the core
