Dear All job seekers et al., We have a call for a two years (24 months) position for a postdoc with experience in protein purification, characterization and structure determination by X-ray crystallography for the project:
Discovering Apple Quality Markers for a Sustainable Conservation in Dynamic Controlled Atmosphere (DAMaSCo) The sustainable reduction of post-harvest losses can be achieved by regulating apple metabolism during storage. A decrease of oxygen to concentrations ranging from 2-3 to 1 % is used to extend the storage life of apples (Malus domestica) in controlled atmosphere (CA). In dynamic CA (Dynamic CA, DCA), oxygen levels are set at concentrations as low as 0.4 %. However, in DCA oxygen reduction reaches the lowest level tolerated by the fruit with a high risk of severe quality loss. Aims of the project “DAMaSCo ” are: * identification of quality markers (genes and metabolites) to prevent decay of apples during storage in DCA. (university of Padua) * characterization of the M. domestica enzymes differentially expressed in low oxygen conditions. (university of Bolzano) * elucidation of their reaction mechanisms and substrate specificity (university of Bolzano). The project “DAMaSCo” brings together in a multidisciplinary collaborative effort Dr Stefano Benini (Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, UNIBZ), Prof. Benedetto Ruperti (University of Padua, UNIPD), Prof. Francesco Musiani (University of Bologna, UNIBO) The salary is €24000/year (48000€).
