Postdoc Position in Cell Engineering for Acetate-Based Precision Fermentations
The appointed candidate is expected to design microbial hosts tailored for acetate-based precision fermentations. The candidate will contribute to the development of small-scale precision fermentations that will be scaled up in our state-of-the-art pilot plant.
Postdoc in non-conventional yeast biotechnology for industrial side-streams valorization into bio-ba...
DTU Bioengineering is excited to announce an open postdoc position, as part of the new established WAVE consortium for saline effluents valorization into high-value compounds using non-conventional yeasts. This project turns the critical characteristics of dairy wastewater into interesting features and avoids the necessity of whey separation and drying considering it as a valuable stream to be converted into carbon sources. Hence, this project will apply microbial-based bioprocesses towards dairy WAstewater reuse and conVErsion into new bioplastics (WAVE). For this, WAVE aims to obtain low-salinity clean water ready to use in landscaping and bioplastics to be applied in several sectors.
Harnessing Plant Interactions and Metabolomics towards Pesticide-free Crop Production
This PhD project will investigate how plant–plant and plant–microbe associations influence plant secondary metabolism, with a focus on utilizing phytochemical profiles for sustainable crop production. The candidate will study how plant-plant and plant-microbe interactions modify metabolite production and allelopathic traits in crop plants.
Postdoctoral researcher in quantitative genetics applied to organic oat breeding
In this project, you will be involved in analysis of sequence data in diverse samples of oat accessions and modelling of interactions among genes, climates, and management practices.
PhD scholarship on Modelling and Improvement of Full-Scale Environmental Operations
The focus of this PhD project is on the use of mathematical modelling tools and digital twins to investigate scenarios for improved treatment plant operation.
