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.

Postdoc in Crop Biotechnology, Root Induced Oilseed Rape and Drought Resilience
Research and teaching at PLEN cover topics within biotechnology, agriculture and environment. The department is divided into nine sections dealing with a wide range of subjects. Focus is on plants, soil, microorganisms and animals– from molecules through organisms to populations and anthropogenic ecosystems. It is our vision to maintain and develop our position as one of the principal centers for plant science and the related areas based on excellent basic and applied research. The department hosts state-of-the art infrastructure, unique field research facilities and many opportunities for collaboration within the department. The postdoc will be affiliated to the CROP section located at the Taastrup Campus.
3 PhD fellowships in Robotic Intercropping
The project aims to push the boundaries of research, innovation and collaboration in sustainable agriculture by co-developing robotics and intercropping systems that enhance food security, support biodiversity, and build climate-resilient farming systems with efficient resource use.
PhD Position in Bioorganic Chemistry at SDU in Odense
Posttranslational modifications on nucleosomal core and linker histone proteins are central to transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes and are thus of fundamental importance to complex life. In contrast to advanced biomolecular understanding of core histones, the basic molecular knowledge on linker histones is currently limited.

Postdoc in Organic Chemistry
This ERC-funded project explores how visible light could have driven key chemical transformations relevant to the origins of life. While ultraviolet light has long been the focus of prebiotic photochemistry, this project shifts attention to visible light, as a milder and more abundant energy source on early Earth, and investigates its ability to drive catalytic reaction cycles in aqueous solution. The central objective is to discover and characterize photoredox catalytic systems, focusing on redox reactions and simple oligomerizations. By leveraging the properties of small molecule photocatalysts, the research will develop models of prebiotic chemistry that are both chemically and geochemically plausible.
