Bubbles vs microbes: microbial electrolysis with and without bubbles

The project aim is to study the upscaling potential of microbial electrosynthesis (water electrolysis in the presence of microbes which can convert the dissolved CO2 and Hydrogen into valuable chemicals) as a path towards large scale CO2 utilization. So far, high hydrogen concentration and bubble formation is avoided in such a process, which nevertheless, translates to small current densities and a slow production rate. The project aims to push this limit by studying the effect of hydrogen supersaturation and bubble formation.

PhD scholarship in Microbial Chemotaxis and Root-Microbe Interactions (RhizoTrack) - DTU Bioengineer...

If you are curious about how microorganisms and plants communicate - and you want a PhD project where you can develop advanced skills in microfluidics, molecular ecology, and environmental data analysis - this position offers an exceptional opportunity to grow as a scientist. In RhizoTrack, you will work at the interface of microbiology, chemical ecology, and sustainable agriculture, contributing knowledge that can support more resilient plant-microbe partnerships in the future. The DFF-funded project RhizoTrack explores how soil microorganisms sense, differentiate, and transform plant root exudates, and how these chemical interactions shape which microbes successfully colonize plant roots. By resolving these mechanisms, the project aims to build a foundation for designing microbial and chemical strategies that can strengthen plant health and reduce dependency on agrochemical inputs. The project introduces microfluidic in situ chemotaxis assays (ISCAs) into soil ecosystems, a technique that allows us to measure microbial movement directly in natural soil matrices. We take a stepwise approach, beginning with synthetic communities and soil-analogue environments before progressing to more complex natural soils. You will work with chemotaxis experiments, long-read sequencing, microbial community analysis, and LC-MS-based chemical characterization. The PhD project is part of the research activities at the Section for Microbial and Chemical Ecology (MCE) at DTU Bioengineering. MCE hosts internationally leading groups in microbial ecology, environmental biotechnology, microfluidics, and chemical ecology. The section provides state-of-the-art facilities for environmental genomics, chemical analytics, and microbial cultivation. You will join a vibrant and interdisciplinary environment with strong ties to both Danish and international collaborators, including a research visit to Dr. Jean-Baptiste Raina, the co-inventor of the ISCA. Responsibilities and qualifications As PhD candidate you will investigate how soil microorganisms sense, interpret, and transform plant root exudates using microfluidic in situ chemotaxis assays, molecular ecology, and chemical analysis. The work involves collaboration with experts in microbial ecology and microfluidics, contributions across three coordinated work packages, and supporting the establishment of microfluidic-based workflows for soil environments. You will also take part in the supervision of BSc and MSc students connected to the project. Further information Further information may be obtained from Associate Professor Lars Behrendt (labeh@dtu.dk). Questions related to plant synthetic communities can also be directed to Professor Lars Jelsbak (lj@bio.dtu.dk).

Tenure Track Assistant Professor in in Soft Robotics and Bioinspired Systems

This position focuses on pioneering research that integrates the full soft robotics pipeline—from conceptual design to functional realization. We seek a candidate with a comprehensive and well-documented research profile, demonstrating a strong foundation in both theoretical and experimental robotics. The ideal applicant will bring expertise in the design and fabrication of soft robots, including the innovative use of functional materials such as metamaterials and composites, as well as experience in automated fabrication and mechanical characterization. A solid background in modelling and system identification is essential, with particular emphasis on data-driven and machine-learning–based approaches for soft and continuum systems. The candidate must also demonstrate proven experience in embedded perception—covering data acquisition, signal processing, and sensor integration—and in the development and implementation of advanced control strategies. Ultimately, we seek an individual with demonstrated capability in system integration: the ability to combine these disciplines into fully functional robotic systems for applications in bio-inspired locomotion, manipulation, and wearable technologies. Further information For further information please contact Head of Department Kasper Hallenborg (email: hallenborg@sdu.dk) or Professor Ahmad Rafsanjani (ahra@sdu.dk).

PhD Student position within the field of pre-mRNA splicing and disease

The RNA Precision Medicine Center, Section of Translational Biology, at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the University of Southern Denmark, invites applications for a PhD student position within the field of pre-mRNA splicing and disease. The position is to be filled from 1 April 2026. The candidate will be part of a dynamic research group, which focus on generating a better understanding of all aspects of RNA biology in human disease and how to translate this into precision medicine. The present project is focused on pre-mRNA splicing regulatory mechanisms and how inherited mutations can cause aberrant splicing and human disease. Identification and characterization of splicing regulatory motifs and regulatory RNA binding proteins important for metabolic- cancerous- and neurodegenerative diseases. In the project, patient cells, model- and reporter-minigenes, gene editing and animal models, as well as in vitro RNA binding techniques and bioinformatics will be used to explore changes in mRNA splicing and to identify and characterize the involved cis- and trans-factors. The project has a special emphasis on correction of disease associated splicing and on identification and characterization of methods for up- and down-regulation of gene-expression employing splice switching oligonucleotides and RNA binding small molecule drugs. The project will generate basic knowledge on RNA-centered molecular mechanisms, the molecular pathology of aberrant splicing and it aims at translating this into new precision RNA medicine. Applications are sought from candidates with a master’s degree in molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, medicine or a related field and documented experience in molecular and cellular biology. Specifically, experimental expertise in RNA biology, including working with antisense oligonucleotides and RNA binding small molecule drugs for modulation of splicing, as well as hands-on experience with Next Generation Sequencing technologies and bioinformatics is preferable. Applicants should have demonstrated scientific productivity, good inter-personal and communication skills, good written and spoken English skills and be able to conduct independent and creative research. The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology offers a strong, international and competitive research environment within the fields of RNA biology, molecular genetics and cell biology, protein chemistry and mass spectrometry, molecular microbiology and biophysics.
