Postdoctoral Position in Yeast Physiology and Fermentation, Sweden

A two year post doctoral position on yeast stress during growth in industrial media is available. The project is a project on bio-based production of industrial chemicals in yeast, a collaboration between two research groups at Chalmers and three industrial partners. In this position you will work with fermentation of industrial side streams from the paper and pulping industry. Furthermore, you will investigate of the extent of toxicity and the inhibition mechanism at elevated product concentrations. The physiological impact on yeast under such growth conditions will be studied in detail. The research should lead to strategies to improve the robustness of the process, either by treating the streams enzymatically or chemically or by strain engineering.
