Qualifications:
1. PhD degree in Biotechnology / Biology / Chemistry / Microbiology / Chemical engineering / Environmental engineering or a closely related field conferred in the years 2014-2026. This period may be extended by a time of long-term (in excess of 90 days) documented sick leaves or rehabilitation leaves granted on account of being unfit to work. In addition, the period may be extended by the number of months of a childcare leave granted pursuant to the Labour Code and in the case of women, by 18 months for every child born or adopted, whichever manner of accounting for career breaks is preferable. For researchers with multiple PhDs, the date of the first PhD award is deemed the reference date.
2. Experience in biotechnological, analytical, or fermentation laboratories (or similar), including fermentation processes and analytical techniques, as well as in working in research projects.
3. Experience in omics and bioinformatic data analysis, including the processing and interpretation of metagenomic and metatranscriptomic datasets.
4. At least basic knowledge of microscopy techniques.
5. Strong spoken and written communication skills, good organisational skills, and analytical thinking.

Project name: Deep insight into biofilm-controlled carbon flow in the chain elongation process – DeepChain (PI: Filip Brodowski, PhD).
What do we offer:
A chance to join in a driven and young team Bioref Research Group (https://bioref.put.poznan.pl/) focused on development in the field of environmental biotechnology and recovery of valuable compounds from organic waste in accordance with the assumptions of the circular economy; mutual consultations and support; participation in national and international conferences.
Project description:
The project will investigate how biofilm structure influences the biological production of medium-chain carboxylic acids (MCCAs) via chain elongation during open culture fermentation of organic waste. Biofilms are expected to improve process stability by enhancing microbial spatial organisation, syntrophic interactions, and resistance to stress. Biofilm-based and planktonic systems will be compared to evaluate differences in performance and stability under varying conditions. In parallel, multi-omics and imaging techniques (e.g. CLSM-FISH, Raman microspectroscopy) will be used to identify key microorganisms and their spatial organisation within biofilms. The aim is to elucidate mechanisms governing stability and efficiency in CE systems and develop more robust waste-to-product bioconversion processes.
Main tasks:
Research conceptualisation, design and conduct of fermentation experiments, performing analytical and biofilm characterisation analyses, preparation of biomass and biofilm samples for omics, bioinformatic analysis of sequencing data, integrated data analysis (including multivariate and network analyses), supervision of FISH probe design, preparation of scientific publications, and dissemination of results at international conferences.
