About this position
Fully funded 3-year PhD opportunity in Food Microbiology and Microbial Ecology at the University of Copenhagen, Department of Food Science (FOOD), Denmark. The fellowship is part of the BIOBARRIER project, which investigates microbial communities associated with fresh plant foods and how beneficial bacteria can help protect foods from spoilage organisms.
Research topics include microbial community interactions, interactions with Pectobacterium, gene expression within microbial communities, metabolite identification linked to bioprotection, and approaches to reduce food losses using beneficial microbial communities. The position is full-time and includes PhD coursework, independent research, collaboration with partners, a research stay abroad, teaching/scientific communication, and publication of results.
Eligible applicants should have an MSc in Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Bioengineering, Food Microbiology, Biochemistry, Bioinformatics, or a related field. The post asks for prior research experience (for example through an MSc thesis or research project), relevant microbiology techniques, excellent English communication skills, and a strong interest in microbial ecology and bacterial interactions.
Funding is fully covered for the 3-year duration. The expected start date is 15 November 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. Deadline: 1 October 2026 at 23:59 CET.
To apply, prepare a 1-page cover letter, CV, degree certificates and transcripts, a 1-page scientific statement, and contact details for academic references. Contact person: Associate Professor Henriette Lyng Røder (Department of Food Science, University of Copenhagen), email [email protected].
