A global hub for Biosolutions
When you harness the power of biology you find new ways to reduce emissions and help hard-to-abate industries manufacture products with a smaller CO2 footprint.
In short, biosolutions are one of the most promising tools for accelerating the green transition, and Denmark offers an excellent environment for engaging in advanced biosolutions research.
Here you will benefit from a tightly connected ecosystem that brings together industry leaders, research institutions, and forward-thinking government policies. Join us and help foster new ideas that have large-scale potential.

PhD fellowship in plant-soil interactions
The Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences (PLEN) at University of Copenhagen invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in quantifying multi-species benefits of ley mixtures in relation to plant root growth, potential stabilisation of soil organic matter, and soil biota. The project is part of the research project “Grassy - Can diversity deliver ‘climate-smart’ grassland systems?”, financed by the Independent Research Fund Denmark.
Postdoc in sustainable production of cultured milk
We seek a candidate with a strong background in animal science, biology or veterinary science. The candidate should have experience in applied cell biology and mammary gland physiology in dairy cattle. Furthermore, the candidate must have experience in designing and conducting in vitro cell biology studies including experimental collection of mammary tissue from cows.
CEBE-Postdoc – Biobased building materials: moisture sorption and fungal growth
The Villum Foundation has launched a record-breaking research grant of 1 billion DKK over the next ten years, with the goal to advance efforts towards a more sustainable built environment: Civil Engineering and the Green Transition in the Built Environment (CEBE). The announced position is part of the CEBE venture, and the successful candidate will participate in the joint effort to achieve this goal. Read more about CEBE (https://villumfonden.dk/en/nyhed/billion-kroner-research-grant-accelerate-green-transition-built-environment).
Post doctoral fellow in food structure and physical chemistry of food
The Department of Food Science, Aarhus University (Denmark), invites applications for a 24-month postdoc position to study the structure and function of food proteins in relevant food matrices. The position starting date is 1 May 2026 or immediately thereafter.
PhD scholarship in Synthetic Biology for assimilation of sustainable C1 feedstocks
The aim of the PhD project is to design, build and evolve novel pathways for efficient utilization of C1 feedstock in the environmental bacterium Pseudomonas putida. The engineered bacteria will be used as a sustainable cell factory for the biosynthesis of value-added chemicals. To this end, the PhD candidate will apply computational methods, such as flux balance analysis and genome-scale metabolic modelling, to design synthetic metabolic modules.
Postdoc Position in Electrochemistry at Novo Nordisk Foundation CO₂ Research Center at Aarhus Univer...
The successful candidate will be involved in research on developing single- and dual-atom catalysts for bicarbonate conversion using electrochemical methods. Focus will be on the design of the interfacial organic layer at the electrode surface to promote the selective reduction of CO₂ to syngas, ethanol, or ethylene. In addition, the scale-up of the most promising processes will be done using electrochemical flow cells. This work will be carried out in collaboration with other members of the Daasbjerg research group.
Research Assistant in Synthetic Biology
The successful candidate will establish and optimize microtiter plate–based enzymatic assays to quantify activity, selectivity, and stability of individual enzymes and assembled cascades under diverse conditions. A key aspect of the role is the implementation of high-throughput workflows, including integration of liquid handling systems and assay readouts into robust, automatable pipelines. The position also involves applying computational tools to guide enzyme selection and cascade design, as well as to interpret kinetic and screening data. The candidate will document methods and results in a reproducible manner and contribute to publications, protocols, and internal know-how. The candidate should have
PhD scholarship in Synthetic Metabolism for Extending the Metabolic Landscape of Bacterial Cell Fact...
The PhD project aims to design, construct, and evolve new metabolic pathways for producing and degrading halogenated metabolites and related compounds in Pseudomonas putida. These engineered strains will serve as sustainable cell factories for the biosynthesis of high-value chemicals, while tackling some of the biggest challenges of our modern societies, i.e. the so-called “forever chemicals” (PFAS).
Phd in The Role of Oxygenated Organic Molecules in Atmospheric New particle Formation
Massive quantities of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are continuously emitted into our atmosphere from both biogenic and anthropogenic sources. When entering the atmosphere, the majority of VOCs are transformed into less volatile species via oxidation reactions. This leads to a myriad of different oxygenated organic molecules (OOMs) being present in the air.
Postdoc in lignin enzymology for sustainable batteries
Are you passionate about using enzyme technology to enable the green transition? At DTU Bioengineering, you can become part of developing next-generation biocatalysts for formation of electrochemically attractive components to green sodium-based batteries. We offer a position, which is part of an ongoing project about turning wood-derived biomass into sustainable components in batteries. You will be working in a highly collaborative and internationally recognized research environment. This position offers the opportunity to build scientific excellence, publish impactful research, and contribute to transformative solutions for a more sustainable society.
Postdoc positions in the field of mRNA modifications in plants
A 2.5-year post-doctoral position is available in the Brodersen laboratory to work on the interplay between N6-methyladenosine, its cognate cytoplasmic RNA binding proteins and other RNA-binding proteins targeting m6A-containing mRNAs.
Entrepreneurial Post Doc in Algae biochemistry
Do you want to turn cutting-edge algae biotechnology into real-world solutions? The Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences (PLEN), University of Copenhagen, invites applications for a 2.5-year (30 months) Entrepreneurial Postdoctoral Fellowship funded by a Distinguished Innovator Grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation.
PhD Fellowship in Microbial Ecology
This PhD project aims to elucidate the microbial mechanisms underlying biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) in wheat, focusing on ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (AOA) and their interactions with root-exuded benzoxazinoids and other BNI compounds. The project will also enhance and develop microbial methods for BNI phenotyping and link microbial responses to plant growth conditions, fertilization regimes, and rhizosphere ecology.
PhD fellowship in Molecular Microbiology
The PhD project focuses on microbial degradation of PFAS (“forever chemicals”) and aims to identify and overcome the biological barriers that limit sustainable PFAS bioremediation. PFAS are highly persistent environmental pollutants with significant risks to human health and ecosystems, and effective biological remediation strategies are currently lacking.
Assistant professor in seed science
The Department of Agroecology at Aarhus University, Denmark, is offering a position as Assistant professor focusing on seed science. The position will be available from 01-06-2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position will be available for a 3-year period. You will be part of a research environment focusing on seed science and plant genetic resources. You will work on a number of projects to answer questions around seed longevity, seed development, dormancy and germination in response to abiotic stresses.
