The macromolecular crystallography group at the HZB welcomes applications
for a Ph. D. position on the structure and function of plastic degrading enzymes. Within the Helmholtz project FINEST, a doctoral position is available for the sub-project MICROPLASTICS, which will address the microbial/biochemical conversion of synthetic polymer (plastics) fractions of fine-grained residues (microplastics) to yield valuable products and/or inert residues for safe deposition. In the PhD project, initially characterized and also novel fungal biocatalysts from FINEST partner UFZ Leipzig acting on synthetic polymers and/or polymer additives will be biochemically and structurally characterised to enhance their catalytic performance on a structural basis and with bioinformatic tools (in silico protein engineering). FINEST partners UFZ and University of Greifswald will provide strong support in the provision of novel enzymes and their biochemical characterization, respectively. With FINEST partner HZDR, located in Dresden Rossendorf, an innovative assay for the detection of micro- and nanoplastic particles will be developed.
