Postdoc Positions in Geology in Denmark

ARoS Aarhus Art Museum is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for Olafur Eliasson × ARoS – Shared Futures , a long-term collaboration that centres on a major solo exhibition with Olafur Eliasson. The post is embedded in the museum’s curatorial and research environment and is closely tied to the upcoming exhibition project, including its public programme and related interpretive work. The research focus is Olafur Eliasson’s practice and immersive installation art more broadly. The role invites a pr...

This postdoctoral position at Aarhus University is based in the Department of Agroecology , within the Soil Fertility Section , and is embedded in a research environment focused on soil fertility and nutrient turnover in agricultural soils. The project centres on soil nutrient dynamics and soil health indicators in arable and ley-based cropping systems . You will work on the ecosystem services of grassland leys and the use of biochar in arable cropping systems, with a particular emphasis on how ...

The University of Copenhagen’s Globe Institute is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to advance mass-spectrometry-based palaeoproteomics. The project targets ancient protein traces preserved in fossil material, including remains more than one million years old, with the goal of recovering longer and higher-quality amino-acid sequences for improved phylogenetic reconstruction of extinct hominids and other fossil taxa. The postdoc will develop novel workflows spanning sample preparation, chromatogr...

The Department of Plant and Environmental Science at the University of Copenhagen is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for a 34-month project on crop root development and its effects on root-zone water and nitrogen dynamics. The work is centred on the newly established RootAccess facility, which is designed to study crop root growth down to 3 meters and to trace how roots influence water and nitrogen processes at the same depth. The project will examine how a range of common crops exploit the...

This postdoctoral project focuses on genome-informed microbial biogeochemical modeling to improve understanding of soil carbon cycling under global warming. The successful candidate will work on quantifying microbial traits from metagenomes and using these traits to develop a microbial-explicit version of the dynamic vegetation model LPJ-GUESS . The post is hosted by the Department of Biology, Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen , and is embedded in the Center of Excellence VOLT (Center...

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 identi...

Aalborg University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher in implementation science within lung medicine for a three-year, full-time position at the Department of Clinical Medicine. The postdoctoral researcher will join the newly established Center for Implementation Science and the Lung Medicine Research Unit at Aalborg University Hospital. The research focuses on community engagement and implementation science in chronic lung disease, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as we...

Aalborg University is recruiting a full-time postdoctoral researcher in Lighting Design for its Department of Architecture, Design and Media Technology at the Copenhagen Campus. The two-year position is connected to the transdisciplinary Lighting Design Lab and combines research, supervision, teaching, and semester coordination. The postdoc will contribute to externally funded research projects that address societal challenges through lighting design, technology, and human-centric approaches. Th...

This postdoc project at the University of Copenhagen focuses on how sea-level rise and coastal squeeze are reshaping tidal flats in the Danish Wadden Sea. The researcher will study tidal flat evolution, sediment characteristics, and the factors controlling sediment dynamics in coastal wetlands as part of the multidisciplinary WadProof project. The project examines recent and historical changes in tidal flat development and texture, the effects of dikes, and the drivers of sediment characteristic...
