The position is open within the Section for Eukaryotic Biotechnology (SEB), one of five research sections at the Department of Systems Biology. SEB is dedicated to the exploitation of biodiversity as a source of new compounds and, through understanding cell biology and physiology, use systems and synthetic biology to design advanced cell factories. The profile of the section comprises research groups with competences in mycology, molecular biology, metabolomics, bioinformatics and fermentation technology. The focus of the project is construction of a synthetic chromosome for filamentous fungi.
