PhD Scholarship Position- Redox Metabolism in E. coli

Title: PhD Scholarship Position- Redox Metabolism in E. coli

Location: Netherlands

Organization’s profile:

The Faculty of Applied Sciences is the largest faculty of TU Delft, with around 550 scientists, a support staff of 250 and 1,800 students. The faculty conducts fundamental, application-oriented research and offers scientific education at the bachelor, master and doctoral levels. The faculty is active in the fields of Life and Health Science & Technology, Nanoscience, Chemical Engineering, Radiation Science & Technology, and Applied Physics.

Job Description:

The research work will focus on use of cutting edge experimental and modelling approaches to manipulate the nature and availability of nutrients and change the stoichiometry of central carbon metabolism. To gain insight into the systemic changes after the proposed manipulations, quantitative data is obtained (growth, metabolic fluxes, transcriptional changes, proteomic profiles and concentrations of intracellular metabolites).

Eligibility:

Master degree in biochemical engineering/biotechnology or a related study program and a strong background in/affinity for mathematical modelling of cellular systems.
