OPEN Scholarship Postdoc Position: We have a 1+1 year scholarship postdoc position focusing on protein film electrochemistry of multicopper oxidases.
Designation: Postdoctoral Researcher
Research Area: Protein Film Electrochemistry of Multicopper Oxidases
Location: University of Uppsala, Sweden
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Ph.D. degree or international equivalent in Biochemistry, Electrochemistry, Physical Chemistry, or a related field
- Documented experience in bioelectrochemistry, preferably in protein film electrochemistry
- Fluency in English for effective scientific communication
- Ability to conduct independent research based on scientific skills
- Strong collaborative skills, drive, creativity, and independence
Job Description: The postdoc position involves investigating the mechanism of heterogeneous oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyzed by multicopper oxidases (MCOs). The project utilizes protein film voltammetry coupled with surface-enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy, along with mathematical modeling, to explore the ORR mechanism. High-potential MCOs, with a small overpotential for ORR, are crucial for constructing efficient biocathodes in fuel cells. The successful candidate will contribute to advancing the understanding of MCOs’ catalytic mechanisms and their potential applications.
