UMEÅ UNIVERSITET

Postdoktor (2 år) inom cellväggens dynamik och mechanokemisk signalering Institutionen för fysiologisk botanik (Umeå universitet, Umeå Plant Science Centre, Sverige) välkomnar sökande till en postdoktoranställning inom cellväggens dynamik och mechanokemisk signalering. Förväntat startdatum är september 2026 eller enligt överenskommelse. Projektbeskrivning och arbetsuppgifter Vi söker en motiverad postdoktor för att medverka i DYNAMO-projektet ("Dynamics of Mechanochemical Signals in Plant Cell Walls") vid Plant Cell Wall Dynamics Lab, som leds av biträdande professor Laura Bacete. Projektet finansieras av Novo Nordisk Foundation (Emerging Investigator 2026 in Plant Science, Agriculture and Food Biotechnology). I projektet undersöks hur växter uppfattar och tolkar det fysikaliska och kemiska tillståndet i sina cellväggar, och hur dessa tillståndssignaler styr tillväxt, differentiering och stressrespons. Den framgångsrika kandidaten kommer att fokusera på att avgöra huruvida väggtillstånd sprider sig mellan vävnader, och hur denna spridning hänger samman med aktiv avkänning snarare än passiv mekanisk spridning. Optogenetiska och inducerbara genetiska verktyg kommer att användas för att generera definierade störningar av pektinremodelleringen, och Brillouinmikroskopi i kombination med levande-cell-signalreportrar kommer att användas för att karakterisera den vävnadsnivårespons som dessa störningar ger upphov till. Arbetet utförs i Arabidopsis thaliana, med utvalda förhållanden validerade i hybridasp, i nära samarbete med experter inom optisk mikroskopi, växtförsvar och syntetisk biologi. Behörighet och kvalifikationer För att anställas med stöd av avtal om tidsbegränsad anställning som postdoktor krävs avlagd doktorsexamen eller utländsk examen som bedöms motsvara doktorsexamen.

SVERIGES LANTBRUKSUNIVERSITET

Department of Molecular Sciences Third-cycle subject area: Chemistry Description of the doctoral project Do you want to work in a project that aims to replace fossil sources with forest raw materials for the production of biomaterials? Are you interested in immersing yourself in molecular interactions at the atomic level with advanced analytical instruments? Do you want to work with a whole group of researchers who share these interests? If so, this could be a PhD position for you. The overall goal of this PhD project is to enzymatically modify glycans from hemicellulose to produce bio-based crosslinkers for applications in adhesives, hydrogels and other crosslinked materials. However, many materials that we consider bio-based, such as wood fibreboards, hydrogels and stabilizers from non-fossil polymers, still rely on crosslinkers that have fossil origins and are often very harmful chemicals. Fibreboards for furniture, construction and insulation typically contain around 9% glue consisting of urea formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is classified as a known human carcinogen and its emissions from fibreboards are a major concern. Oxidative enzymes will be used on hemicellulose substrates, such as xyloglucan and glucomannan, to obtain aldehyde and ketone functions on the sugar ring in parallel with a partial degradation to oligosaccharides. The expected result is a collection of non-toxic, bio-based crosslinkers that can potentially replace formaldehyde and similar fossil-based crosslinkers. About the position You will be part of a research group conducting research in organic chemistry and biotechnology with a focus on structural analysis of enzymes and carbohydrate substrates using NMR spectroscopy, as well as the development of new methods for studying interactions between proteins and carbohydrates using NMR spectroscopy. The project includes a lot of laboratory work and will be carried out with an advanced level of characterization using NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry to be able to draw conclusions about the structural composition of the crosslinkers and the crosslinked materials. To achieve these goals while ensuring a productive and enriching environment, the project includes supervision in organic chemistry, enzymology and wood technology. The position also includes teaching up to 20% of the time. Requirements To meet the general entry requirements you must have: been awarded a second-cycle (Master’s) qualification; satisfied the requirements for courses comprising at least 240 credits of which at least 60 credits were awarded in the second-cycle, or acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way in Sweden or abroad (Higher Education Ordinance 1993:100, Chapter 7, Section 39). Specific entry requirements for the third-cycle courses and study programme in chemistry: To meet the specific entry requirements, you must have at least 60 HEC in chemistry-related subjects (general, analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry as well as biochemistry). This must include a degree project and at least 30 HEC must be at second-cycle level. You must also meet the equivalent English language requirements as those necessary for the Swedish upper-secondary qualification Engelska B/6. Your profile We are looking for a highly motivated candidate who has a master's degree in a field relevant to the position, for example in organic chemistry, biotechnology, molecular biology or equivalent. A focus on biochemistry or organic chemistry with experience in laboratory work are valuable merits, as are experience in NMR spectroscopy and/or protein expression and purification. Great emphasis is placed on personal qualities such as collaborative skills, analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as the ability to work independently. Good knowledge of English (both spoken and written) is required. About us You will be placed in the subject of organic chemistry at the Department of Molecular Sciences, SLU, Uppsala. The department consists of about 100 employees and, together with three other departments, forms an inspiring research environment at the BioCenter on the Ultuna campus in Uppsala.
