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.
Daniel Rasmussen
Postdoc in Precision Gas Fermentation
The concerns over food security and protein scarcity, driven by population increase and higher standards of living, have pushed scientists toward finding new protein sources. A considerable proportion of resources and agricultural lands are dedicated to feed to raise livestock or fish for human consumption. Microbial protein (MP) is a land-independent alternative protein source for animal feeds. In particular, 2nd generation MP integrates renewable energies, carbon-capture technologies, and gas fermentation, to produce sustainable proteins. Yet, the digestion of those proteins is often suboptimal, yielding the excretion of large amounts of wasted nutrients together with manures. The candidate will work on the optimization of the gas fermentation processes to produce highly digestible tailored proteins, reducing environmental impact and dependence on imported raw materials. The tasks are aligned with Pathfinder EU project Synfeed (https://synfeed.eu/), with a strong focus on stakeholder interaction, so the candidate should be effective in communicating results.
PhD scholarship in Microbial Food Engineering
Do you want to design the microbial foods of the future? You will use metabolic engineering, advanced analytics, machine learning, and fermentation technologies to create novel, well-tasting sustainable meat alternatives based on edible yeasts. The project is a part of the Microbial Foods mission at BRIGHT.
Postdoc in precision fermentation for sustainable food production
If you excel within heterologous expression in bacterial systems and you are looking for the best place to unfold your skills, we have just the right job for you. Within the next 25 years the world’s population will need up to twice the amount of protein compared to today. Topped by the climate crisis, we need to find new solutions for producing food, and that’s where you enter the scene.
Post Doc position in transition metal catalysis and carbon capture
Are you interested in combination of transition metal catalysis, and can you contribute to the development of materials for CO2 capture and utilisation? Then the Skrydstrup Group at the Department of Chemistry, Aarhus University invites you to apply for a 1-year Post Doctoral position (37 hours/week) starting from February 1st, 2027.
PhD scholarship in investigating the role of cattle and free-living amoebae in Campylobacter epidemi...
If you're passionate about research, captivated by microbiology, and seeking a place to pursue your dreams and ambitions, this opportunity could be perfect for you! You will join the Research Group for Food Microbiology and Hygiene at DTU National Food Institute and will contribute to enhancing public health by ensuring food safety. The overall aim of the research project is to address a major unresolved question in Campylobacter epidemiology by investigating how cattle and free-living amoebae contribute to environmental persistence and transmission beyond poultry in Denmark.

Research Assistant in sustainable food fermentation and ingredient prototyping
Are you excited by the idea of turning side streams into delicious new foods? Do you enjoy working hands-on with fermentation, food making, and experimental development, and do you thrive when ideas quickly become action? Then this position offers the opportunity to build practical and scientific experience at the intersection of culinary innovation, microbiology, bioprocessing, and sustainable food development in the Fermentation Cultures group at BRIGHT.
Postdoctoral Researcher in Environmental Genomics and Pollinator Health
Join a growing interdisciplinary research team developing next-generation tools for biodiversity monitoring and environmental genomics. The Department of Ecoscience at Aarhus University invites applications for a Villum Foundation funded postdoctoral position in environmental genomics, microbiome ecology and pollinator health.
Research Assistant within anaerobic digestion and biomass valorization
The Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering, Aarhus University, invites applicants for a 12 month position within the field of anaerobic digestion and biorefinery, mainly focused on the anaerobic conversion of biomasses.
Nature’s finest at an industrial scale
Is it fermentation, biorefining, enzymes, pheromones, or bacterial cultures that inspire your curiosity? Whatever your passion, Denmark has a research community for you.
Here, companies excel at utilising industrial-scale biological processes and resource-efficient products are manufactured across various sectors, including agriculture, food, energy, construction, textile, transportation, water, and waste management. The industry is backed by a strategic focus from our government, and as a researcher, you get great facilities, collaboration opportunities across disciplines, and a thriving innovation culture. We provide the conditions that drive your progress.

Meet Biosolutions-like-minded
From Honduras and Mexico to Denmark
Meet José, who moved from Honduras to Denmark to pursue his research at the University of Copenhagen. Here, he studies food structures and textures, exploring how different molecules interact to shape the way food looks, feels, and behaves.
Marcela, originally from Mexico, came to Denmark to found her own company. She and her team focus on alternatives to chemical fertilisers and developing solutions that support more environmentally friendly agriculture.
