Postdoctoral research in soil microbiome assembly at DTU Bioengineering focuses on how soil microbial communities assemble and how those processes can be used to improve soil inoculants. The project brings together ecological and evolutionary theory with applied microbiome engineering, aiming to design more effective strategies for shaping soil microbiomes. The postdoc will join an international research team in the Section of Microbial and Chemical Ecology within DTU Bioengineering . The work c...

About this position

DTU Bioengineering is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to investigate soil microbiome assembly and its implications for the use and engineering of soil inoculants. The project applies theoretical concepts from ecology and evolutionary biology to develop effective strategies for designing soil microbiomes.

The researcher will join an international team led by Professor Jennifer Martiny in the Section of Microbial and Chemical Ecology. The role combines ecological theory with experimental and applied microbiome science, supported by cutting-edge infrastructure and interdisciplinary collaborations within DTU Bioengineering.

The postdoctoral researcher will help establish, maintain, and sample large-scale field projects, with opportunities to conduct fieldwork locally and internationally. The research environment includes microbial ecology, microbiology, genomic and metagenomic analysis, microbial community research, molecular bench work, and omics technologies.

DTU Bioengineering is an international department working across biotechnology and biomedicine, with extensive collaborations involving research organizations and industry. The position is based at DTU Lyngby Campus in Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark, within a large and internationally oriented scientific community.

Funding details

This is a full-time, two-year postdoctoral appointment at DTU. Salary and employment terms follow the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations, with possible supplements negotiable under DTU’s salary structure for scientific staff. The starting date is by mutual agreement, preferably early 2027.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent in microbial ecology or evolution, microbiology, or a closely related area. Preferred qualifications include peer-reviewed publication demonstrating research excellence in microbiome science and applications; strong genomic and metagenomic analysis skills; experience with microbial or molecular bench work and/or omics technologies; field-based research experience; experience working in teams and/or supervising at university level; independence, organizational ability, collaboration, willingness to conduct local and international fieldwork; and strong written and oral English communication skills.

How to apply

Submit the complete online application through the DTU Apply Now portal by 14 November 2026 at 23:59 Danish time. Upload one PDF in English containing a cover letter, CV, MSc/PhD academic diplomas, and publication list.
