Building a synthetic cell is one of the greatest scientific and technological challenges of the 21st century. In the framework of a huge national Dutch program (EVOLF, https://www.evolf.life) and a European Doctorate network (ComeInCell, https://www.comeincell.org), we have 12 PhD/Postdoc positions available for biophysicists, bioengineers, biochemists, and molecular biologist at the Groningen Biomolecular Sciences and Biotechnology Institute (https://www.rug.nl/research/gbb) of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.
The positions are available in five different research groups for either computational or experimental research: (i) to experimentally reconstruct reaction networks for metabolic energy and synthesis of cellular building blocks; (ii) to build synthetic cell-like systems for autonomous operation and growth, or (iii) to develop computational models at different levels of complexity to generate designs of synthetic cells.
