Join us at the forefront of
Biosolutions
If you’re passionate about harnessing biology for a more sustainable future, Denmark is the place to plant your roots.
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.

Open research positions in Biosolutions
Postdoc in Environmental Materials Science: Developing Novel Photocatalytic Biochar for Sustainable ...
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join a high-impact research initiative addressing one of the most pressing environmental challenges - the global “forever chemical” (PFAS) crisis. This exploratory project is funded by the Villum Experiment Programme and aims to move beyond conventional, energy-intensive separation technologies by investigating sustainable catalytic materials capable of destroying persistent PFAS compounds such as PFOA and PFOS.
2 PhD fellowships in in-vitro digestion of novel plant-based ingredients
The Department of Food Science, Section of Ingredients and Dairy Technology, invites applicants for two PhD fellowships in studying the digestive properties of novel ingredients and food materials with the aim to contributing towards the development of future, sustainable, healthy food options. These positions are part of a larger research project funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation “Naturally Smart: Sustainable Food using Artificial Inteligence (AI4NaturalFood)”. Start date is expected to be 1 June 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter.
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.
Postdoc in Remote Sensing for Agroecosystem Sustainability
The Department of Agroecology at Aarhus University, Denmark, is offering a postdoctoral position in global change and ecosystem sustainability, starting from 1 June 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position will be available for a 2-year period. This position will be located at the Pioneer Center Land-CRAFT, which was established in June 2022 to undertake fundamental and applied research that addresses these issues. The center brings together experts on climate impact research and process-based modelling of biogeochemistry, agronomy, biology and geography from Aarhus University and University of Copenhagen, as well as international partners. Field experiments, digital technologies -- including modelling and remote sensing, as well as interactions with stakeholders are key components of Land-CRAFT.
Faculty position in Plant Molecular Biology (Associate Professor or Tenure-Track Assistant Professor...
The Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Aarhus University aims to strengthen its position within the broader field of Plant Molecular Biology and the Green transition. We therefore invite applications for a position to be filled at either Tenure-Track Assistant Professor or Tenured Associate Professor level, starting summer 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter.

These positions are part of a larger research project funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation “Naturally Smart: Sustainable Food using Artificial Inteligence (AI4NaturalFood)”. Start date is expected to be 1 June 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter.
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.

Carbon flow assessment across the integrated manure management and anaerobic digestion chain
The PhD project is part of the research project FARMCHAIN, which aims to document the effect of frequent slurry removal in pig and cattle housing, combined with anaerobic digestion in biogas plants, on methane emissions from livestock manure. In this context, FARMCHAIN will generate robust documentation through measurements conducted in barns, large scale storage tanks, and at biogas facilities involving co-digestion with other substrates.
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.
