Yeast Research Scientist

Carlsberg Laboratory is looking for a Research Scientist/Postdoc starting Jan 1st, 2014 to work with lager yeasts andSaccharomyces cerevisiae laboratory strains. You will be working in the department of Yeast Genetics in the Carlsberg Laboratory which today is a part of Group R&D. The Carlsberg Laboratory was originally founded by J.C. Jacobsen in 1875, as a research institute devoted to develop as complete a scientific basis as possible for malting, brewing, and fermenting operations. Profile  The main responsibilities of the successful candidate will be to participate in basic and applied projects analyzing the molecular genetics, evolution and adaptaion of lager yeast. The project uses state-of-the-art methodology including diagnostic PCR and FACS-analyses of strains used for yeast breeding, genomics, and synthetic design. The project aims at increasing our knowledge on consequences of molecular genetic alterations on the physiology of brewer’s yeast cells during fermentation. We offer a position in a world-class scientific institute in a multi-national team-oriented environment. A PhD in molecular fungal biology is required including a strong background in molecular genetics and microbiology. Knowledge on yeast physiology and fermentation is a plus. Good team spirit, creativity, innovation skills and an independent working attitude are expected as well as fluency in English.
