Job Details
Your assignments
The goal of HYDROCARB is to perform the experimental work that is now needed to identify the key biochemical and physiological processes that determine the metabolic information that is recorded in the δ2H values of plant organic compounds such as leaf wax lipids, lignin and cellulose. The key objective of the advertised PhD project is to perform experiments with different vascular plant species under controlled environmental conditions to identify the precise biochemical processes with respect to a plants carbohydrate metabolism that shape the δ2H values of different plant compounds.
Your profile
We are looking for a dynamic, reliable and motivated student with M.Sc./Diploma in biology, biochemistry, organic geochemistry or related disciplines. Strong interest in process-oriented research and hands-on experiences with analytical instruments (stable isotope mass spectrometers), biochemistry and analytical chemistry are beneficial. Teamwork within the group and project partners requires spoken and written English language skills.
