We are announcing a position as PhD/ licentiate-student to be placed at the section of Food Biotechnology at the Department of Molecular Sciences, SLU Uppsala. The department consists of about 110 co-workers and generates, together with four other departments an inspiring research environment at Uppsala BioCentrum, situated at the SLU campus Ultuna in Uppsala. In the BioCentrum there is broad competence within plant biology, - pathology and -genetics, mycology, microbiology, food science, chemistry and biotechnology. We have access to advanced infrastructure, including fermentation facilities, genome sequencing equipment, advanced microscopy, X-ray -, mass- and NMR- spectroscopy. Our department is running research and teaching within chemistry, biochemistry, plant physiology, anaerobic microorganisms, food science and microbiology. Our research projects covers an area from enzymatic degradation of lignocellulosic material, production of lipids, biochemicals and fish feed by yeasts, programmed cell death at plants, food science and food biotechnology. More information about our research is available at https://www.slu.se/en/departments/molecular-sciences/about-us/ . The position will be filled as part a project funded by The Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet).

The project aims to understand the regulation of the lipid metabolism in the oleaginous yeast Rhodotorula toruloides and to establish this yeast as model for eukaryotic lipid metabolism- with consequences for biotechnology and treatment of diseases connected to disturbed lipid metabolism.
The successful candidate will investigate genomes, transcriptomes and proteomes of high- and low lipid producing strains of R. toruloides. Results will be combined to reconstruct pathways of lipid synthesis and its regulation. The function of some of the identified genes and pathways will be tested by gene deletion/ overexpression in accordingly engineered strains.
We are seeking a highly motivated candidate with a MSc in microbiology, molecular biology, biotechnology, biochemistry or another relevant subject. Good abilities to communicate in English, both in writing and speaking are required. Experience in work with microorganisms, molecular cloning, biochemistry and bioinformatics are required. Knowledge of yeasts, preferable non-conventional yeasts, as well as microbial fermentation in bioreactors, experience in analysing and extracting lipids or other hydrophobic compounds from microorganisms, is desirable. The PhD-student will interact with a variety of other scientists in the group, thus, the ability to work in a team is essential.
