Topic: microbial engineering

Three-year doctoral employment investigating microbial secondary metabolites as biofungicides. Combine chromatography, LC-MS, MALDI imaging and NMR with genome mining, microbial engineering and biosynthesis. The Sino-Danish Centre-supported project includes a required research stay at the Beijing Institute of Genomics and awards a double degree from DTU and UCAS. Start is early 2027 and no later than 1 April. Applications close on 31 October 2026 at 23:59 Danish time.

Join the Mukhopadhyay Group and DOE m-CAFEs project to engineer plant-associated microbes and investigate sorghum root ecosystems. The research combines genetics, proteomics, metabolomics and functional genomics to study microbial stress responses, biofilms, horizontal gene transfer, community stability and root colonization. Responsibilities include microbial engineering, quantitative assays, sequencing analysis and reproducible experimental records. The anticipated start is January 1, 2027. Priority consideration is November 2, 2026; applications continue until the posting is removed.
