PhD in Microbiology

PhD position starting in April 2026 to investigate the anaerobic electroactive physiology and related ecological interactions in yeast at the Laboratory of Microbiology at Wageningen University, Wageningen, Netherlands./nAim: Gain mechanistic insight into the electroactive metabolism of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae under anaerobic conditions by combining bio-electrochemical experiments with omics and genetic engineering approaches, and establish yeast in synthetic co-cultures with anaerobic bacteria to assess cross feeding and eukaryote-prokaryote interactions./nYou will join the Microbial Physiology team under supervision of Assistant professor, Dr. Martijn Diender and co-supervision of Prof. Dr. Diana Z. Sousa.
