Associate Professor in Microbial Ecology

A permanent associate professorship at Aarhus University’s Environmental Microbiology Section investigates microbial degradation of pollutants in natural and engineered water systems. Research connects redox conditions, contaminant transformation and molecular methods across groundwater, sediments and wastewater, with opportunities to integrate omics approaches. The role includes collaborative research, external funding, teaching and work with water-sector stakeholders. The expected start is 1 April 2027 or by agreement.

Applicants need an international research record in redox microbial ecology, experience developing methods and stakeholder projects, and the ability to attract funding. Anaerobic cultivation, metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and related laboratory expertise are relevant. The English application includes a CV, degree certificate, publications, research plan and teaching portfolio.
