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 in engineering of enzyme-catalysed ammonia synthesis
We are seeking applicants for a 3-year PhD studies in enzyme-catalysed ammonia synthesis, to join us at P2CHEM group.
Postdoctoral Researcher in Maize–Microbe Interactions
The Plant Molecular Biology section at the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics is seeking a highly motivated and ambitious postdoctoral researcher to join a dynamic and international research team. You will play a central role in advancing our understanding of the molecular dialogue between plants and their associated microorganisms, with the long-term goal of contributing to more sustainable and resilient agricultural systems.
Postdoc in rhizosphere chemical ecology and secondary metabolite networks
You will investigate how soil microorganisms biotransform secondary metabolites and how these transformations influence microbial interactions and community assembly. Using simple synthetic microbial communities (SynComs), the project will explore the fate of microbial and plant-derived metabolites in soil and their role in mediating chemical communication between microorganisms. The work will combine microbiology, microbial ecology, and metabolite analysis to uncover fundamental mechanisms governing microbial interactions in soil ecosystems.
Postdoctoral Researcher in Plant–Microbe Interactions
Our focus is on uncovering the molecular mechanisms by which plants and microbes interact—ranging from early recognition events to colonization strategies. Within this framework, the advertised postdoctoral project is specifically focused on plant engineering for improved symbiotic associations with soil microbes. This knowledge forms the foundation for the development of novel solutions to reduce the need for chemical inputs and improve crop productivity, particularly in smallholder farming systems.
Associate Professor or DTU Tenure Track Assistant Professor in Research Driven Innovation in Chemica...
DTU Chemical and Biochemical Engineering (KT) invite applications for a position as Assistant or Associate Professor from candidates who are motivated to combine excellent research with active engagement in innovation, entrepreneurship, and industry collaboration.
PhD Position in Engineering Self-assembling Peptide-based Biomaterials for Modulation of Macrophages
This project aims to develop new injectable self-assembling peptides (SAPs) biomaterials that simultaneously: i) possess improved adhesion to local tissues in vivo, ii) exhibit controlled degradation matching the desired regeneration outcome, and iii) allow tissue regeneration by enabling controlled immune cells invasion and progression of inflammation from neighbouring tissues.
PhD fellowship in Food Engineering
We are looking for candidates with the field(s) of Food Engineering, Food Material Science. Applicants can have a background for example from Dairy Engineering, Food Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry. Knowledge of dairy systems and/or relevant characterisation methods will be considered an advantage.
Postdoc Position in Immunomodulatory self-assembling peptide
The Biotechnology section at the Department of Green Technology, Faculty of Engineering, University of Southern Denmark invites applications for one Postdoc position in immunomodulatory biomaterials starting 1/9/2026 (or as soon as possible afterwards, according to mutual agreement).
PhD scholarship in High-Throughput Fungal Phenotyping and Biotechnology
We are looking for a candidate who is curious about fungal biology, physiology and biotechnology. Previous experience with fungi is an advantage but not a prerequisite. Experience with microbiology, molecular biology, metabolomics, mass spectrometry data, robotics, automation, or high-throughput laboratory workflows is an advantage. An interest in data science, coding (e.g. Python/R), and working with structured datasets is also an advantage.
DTU Tenure Track Researcher in Use of alternative biomasses for hybrid foods
DTU National Food Institute performs research that contributes to the development of sustainable food production that can help the population to shift to a more sustainable diet. To succeed with this transition, inclusion of new alternative biomasses such as algae, insects, legumes in new food products is necessary without compromising sensory properties, safety and shelf life stability. Your overall focus will be to expand DTU National Food Institute’s research within this area with particular emphasis on:
SWEET Transporters as Regulators of Carbon Allocation and Drought Resilience in Tomato
This PhD project will investigate how SWEET (Sugars Will Eventually be Exported Transporters) regulate carbon partitioning in tomatoes under drought conditions.
Postdoc in Anaerobic Metabolic Engineering
Are you passionate about sustainability and reducing environmental impact through biomanufacturing? Then come join us in advancing technologies for developing robust microbial cell factories and scalable bioprocesses that convert CO₂-derived feedstocks into high-volume chemicals. This multi-year initiative consists of joint efforts between multiple groups covering the entire innovation pipeline, from metabolic tools and design, strain engineering, process design, fermentation, downstream processing, multi-omics, techno-economic validation, and business development. We aim to establish new industrial routes for essential chemicals in a low-carbon economy through interdisciplinary collaboration.
LIMS Administrator and Product Owner
If you are a skilled LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) administrator passionate about training researchers and empowering scientific discovery, this role is tailored for you. Your expertise will be a cornerstone of BRIGHT’s data strategy, directly contributing to projects addressing world-level challenges. You will collaborate with world-class scientists in an international, flexible, and supportive environment at one of Europe’s leading research and education institutions.
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.
