The Department of Biology at Aarhus University is offering a two-year postdoctoral position in environmental microbial ecology within the Section for Microbiology. The project focuses on microorganisms associated with electrically conductive iron minerals in anoxic aquatic sediments, asking which bacterial and archaeal cells live on these minerals and how their physiology and ecology differ from those in the surrounding sediment. The successful researcher will investigate the phylogenetic identi...

About this position
This PhD stipend is based at the Department of Chemistry and Bioscience within the Faculty of Engineering and Science at Aalborg University, with the workplace in Aalborg and an expected start date from 1 January 2027 or soon thereafter.
The project focuses on microbial ecology for optimising anaerobic digestion processes. Working in collaboration with Shell Biogas Low Carbon Solutions, the PhD student will explore enhancement technologies that can improve biogas production and process stability in agricultural anaerobic digesters.
The research combines bench-scale bioreactor operation with longitudinal microbial identification and advanced meta-omics approaches such as metagenomics and metatranscriptomics. The goal is to understand the active microbiota in enhanced digesters and use that knowledge to support better-performing biological process systems.
The student will be anchored in the Center for Microbial Communities, an interdisciplinary research environment of around 50 scientists working on the structure and function of microbial communities, mainly in environmental microbiology and biotechnology. The center provides state-of-the-art infrastructure for DNA and RNA sequencing, laboratory automation, CPU and GPU computing, and advanced microscopy.
The position offers the opportunity to work in an international setting and to collaborate with specialists in microbial ecology, bioinformatics, and environmental engineering. The wider department spans basic and applied research across biology, chemistry, biotechnology, bioengineering, environmental science, and chemical engineering, creating a broad environment for doctoral research.
Funding details
PhD stipend for 3 years; salary and terms in accordance with the AC collective agreement. The post includes a PhD stipend and is for a 3-year appointment.
What's required
Applicants must hold a Master's degree in Biotechnology, Microbial Ecology, Bioinformatics, or a closely related field. Experience with, or knowledge of, molecular techniques and bioinformatics analyses is expected. Experience with meta-omics and RNA-based methods is an advantage, as is knowledge of or experience with bench-scale bioreactor operation and understanding of full-scale anaerobic digestion processes. Experience with data analysis and statistics is desirable. Excellent oral and written English language skills are required; Danish is not necessary but would be an advantage. The candidate should be curious, proactive, able to work independently, take initiative, and contribute well in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment.
How to apply
Submit the application through Aalborg University’s recruitment system via the job advertisement on the university website. Include a motivation letter, CV, diplomas for bachelor’s and master’s degrees with grades, and other relevant documents such as contact details for 1–3 referees. No reference letters are required.
