Postdoctoral Researcher and PhD Student in Plant–Microbe Interactions and Translational Microbiome Research at DTU Bioengineering Technical University of Denmark in Denmark

DTU Bioengineering at the Technical University of Denmark is recruiting for the #Lab2Field project, funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. The project focuses on the biological constraints that limit bioinoculant performance under real field conditions, with the aim of translating laboratory insights into practical field impact.

Open positions include a Postdoctoral researcher and a PhD student. The research theme is centered on plant–microbe interactions, translational microbiome research, microbial innovation, and planetary health. This is a strong fit for candidates interested in microbiology, bioengineering, and agricultural applications of microbial science.

The post is announced by Tanvi Taparia (Technical University of Denmark), who notes that applications for both vacancies are now open. The deadline is May 27. The post also mentions collaboration with Shilpi Sharma (Indian Institute of Technology Delhi), Britt Koskella (University of California, Berkeley), Roeland Berendsen (Utrecht University), and partners at SEGES Innovation and Danespo A/S.

Applicants should be motivated by lab-to-field translation and the biological performance of microbial inoculants in real-world conditions. Applications must be submitted via the official job portal; the poster explicitly asks applicants not to email job applications directly.
