About the position

For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree.

A three-year PhD position in synthetic biology is available in the group of Assoc. Prof. Johannes Kabisch at the Department of Biotechnology and Food Science at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim, Norway.

The PhD candidate will work as part of the PolySpore project funded by the NovoNordisk Foundation. In the project we will develop novel biological and hybrid materials as well as new data-storage concepts using bacterial spores. The PhD candidate will work on genetically optimizing and manipulating spores of the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis to present and produce load bearing proteins and characterize the resulting product.

Some aspects of the project are examined in collaboration with partners from France and Lithuania.

Your immediate leader is Assoc.Prof. Johannes Kabisch
