About this position

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 identity and ecophysiology of these microorganisms using a combination of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), correlative imaging, DNA- and/or RNA-based omics, and stable isotope incubation experiments. The role of the minerals as a potential niche for electroactive microorganisms is a central theme, and the project gives room to shape methodological approaches and develop new ideas within the project framework.

The postdoc will work in an interdisciplinary environment at the Department of Biology, which includes a large biological research and teaching community, an international microbiology section, well-equipped laboratories, skilled technical support, and access to advanced imaging facilities on the Aarhus University campus. Collaborators in Germany will contribute chemical characterization of the minerals, adding a cross-disciplinary dimension to the research.

In addition to research, the role includes participation in supervision of BSc, MSc and PhD students and possibly some classroom teaching.

Funding details

Two-year fixed-term postdoctoral position funded by the Villum Foundation's Villum Experiment programme; salary and terms according to Danish collective labour agreement, basic salary steps 4-8.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD in biology, earth and environmental science, biotechnology or a related field, or expect to complete it before the start date. A research background in microbiology or microbial ecology is required. Essential requirements include experience with advanced microscopy and/or molecular microbial ecology methods, interest in microbial physiology and electromicrobiology, a systematic approach to method development and testing, a publication record in international peer-reviewed journals relative to career stage, and very good written and oral English. Desirable experience includes FISH, correlative microscopy, stable isotope probing, omics data analysis, and working with sediment or other environmental samples.

How to apply

Submit the application through Aarhus University’s recruitment system via the job advertisement. Include a CV, degree certificate, complete publication list, statement of future research plans, research activity information, teaching portfolio, and verified teaching experience if any. Applications must be in English and received by 29 November 2026 at 23:59 CET.
