About this position

University of Copenhagen is advertising an 18-month postdoctoral position in Environmental Science and microbiology, focused on PFAS-contaminated soils and sites in Denmark. The project combines environmental microbiology, molecular microbiology, microbial community analysis, 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, mobilomic sequencing, and other genomic analyses to study how fluoride and PFAS stress microbial strains and communities.

The postdoc will work on characterizing microbial communities in polluted environments and investigating the effects of PFAS on bacteria using advanced molecular tools. The role sits at the interface of environmental science, microbiology, and analytical/genomic methods, with relevance to bioremediation and the role of xenobiotics in the environment.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should have prior experience in environmental microbiology and molecular techniques, and preferably knowledge of bioremediation and xenobiotics. The position also includes teaching and may involve supervision of students.

Funding/employment: this is a paid postdoctoral employment position under Danish academic staff terms, with salary supplement negotiation possible. It is not described as a scholarship.

Application: submit the application in English through the university portal by clicking the APPLY NOW button. Include a CV, diplomas (Master and PhD degree or equivalent), a research plan, a complete publication list, and separate reprints of 3 particularly relevant papers.

Deadline: 3 May 2026, 23:59 GMT+2. The position is open from 1 July 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter.
