TAREAS/TASKS:

The REDDIS project will set out to provide understanding of the reductive processes caused under the physicochemical stressors present during (waste)water treatment and in natural waters. REDDIS will deploy an innovative approach that will employ Biochemical and Molecular Biological tools to contribute to the understanding of disinfection processes. The intracellular generation of reductive species as well as the bacterial response to reductive processes and their so far unexplored features will be elucidated, under the scope of their deeper understanding and towards implementation. 

REQUERIMIENTOS ESPECIFICOS/SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS:

-Proven experience of Microbiology, Molecular Biology or Genetics lab-based work

-Expertise in bacterial gene knock-out mutants' construction (phage transduction), PCR techniques, oxidative stress determination methods and stress responses. 

-Previous participation in research-oriented projects will be considered a plus.

-Experience in the writing of scientific publications will be positively evaluated.

-Knowledge of Spanish is not required but basic levels will facilitate everyday life and administrative matters.

-Previous experience on water treatment technologies is not required.

HABILIDADES-CUALIFICACIONES/SKILLS-QUALIFICATIONS: 

- PhD in Biology/Microbiology/Life Sciences or related disciplines (Biotechnology, Molecular Biology etc.)
- Chemistry or Water-related BSc or MSc studies will be positively evaluated.
