The UFZ
The Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) with its 1,100 employees has gained an excellent reputation as an international competence centre for environmental sciences. We are part of the largest scientific organisation in Germany, the Helmholtz association. Our mission: Our research seeks to find a balance between social development and the long-term protection of our natural resources.
The job
Benzothiazole (BT) and mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) are high production volume chemicals and widespread contaminants in the environment. Whereas BT was described to be degradable by different microbial species. MBT seems to be more resistant against microbial attacks. However, studies on the fate of BT and MBT in the environment are limited. The Department of Technical Biogeochemistry offers a master's thesis on the stated topic from April 1, 2024 (or later).
Your tasks
- Set up of cultures using soil as inoculum aiming for enrichment of BT and MBT degrading microorganisms
- Characterization and (ideally) isolation of BT and MBT degrading microorganisms by classical microbial techniques
- Characterization of the initial step of BT and MBT biodegradation by stable isotope tools
We offer
- Great insights into work of a leading research institute
- Individual supervision with the possibility to work independently
- A topic with high chances of future scientific outcomes
- Work in international teams in a well-equipped institute
Your profile
- Studies in the field of biology, microbiology, biochemistry or comparable environmental science disciplines
- Background (practical, theoretical) in microbiology or (bio)chemistry is an advantage
- Good knowledge of English is essential
- High motivation and reliability
Application deadline: 17.03.2024
Diversity and Inclusion
The UFZ has a strong commitment to diversity and actively supports equal opportunities for all employees regardless of their origin, religion, ideology, disability, age or sexual identity.
We look forward to applications from people who are open-minded and enjoy working in diverse teams.
Important
Please submit your application via our online portal with your cover letter, CV (please omit your photo, age, or marital status) and relevant attachments.
