Postdoctoral Researcher – Hemp-Based Phytoremediation for Safe Recycling of Lake Sediments

University of Southern Denmark (SDU)

  • Odense, Fyn, Denmark

About the project Many lakes are affected by eutrophication and long-term pollution, with sediments acting as an important internal source of nutrients and contaminants. Sediment removal (dredging) is increasingly being used as a lake restoration measure to reduce internal nutrient loading and improve water quality. However, dredged sediments often contain contaminants such as heavy metals and PFAS, which can limit their safe reuse and instead lead to costly disposal. At the same time, these sediments contain valuable nutrients and organic matter that could potentially be recovered and reused

Postdoctoral Position in Animal Welfare Risks of Feeding Red Seaweed to Dairy Cows

Aarhus University (AU)

  • Tjele, Viborg, Denmark

The Department of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Aarhus University, calls for applications for a full-time postdoctoral position. The two-year position is available from 1 February 2027, or soon thereafter. The position will be in the research unit Behaviour, stress and welfare (BSW). Dairy cattle contribute substantially to agricultural greenhouse gas emissions, primarily through enteric methane production, making the identification of effective nutritional mitigation strategies an important area of research. While the feed additive Bovaer has received considerable attention for its methane-

Postdoctoral Researcher in Environmental Genomics and Pollinator Health

Aarhus University (AU)

  • Aarhus, Midtjylland, Denmark
  • Georgina Brennna

Join a growing interdisciplinary research team developing next-generation tools for biodiversity monitoring and environmental genomics. The Department of Ecoscience at Aarhus University invites applications for a Villum Foundation funded postdoctoral position in environmental genomics, microbiome ecology and pollinator health. Pollinator declines represent one of the most pressing challenges facing biodiversity conservation worldwide. This project investigates how freshwater habitats influence pollinator microbiomes, physiology and ecological interactions. By combining environmental genomics,

PostDoc in aerobiological modelling

Aarhus University (AU)

  • Aarhus, Midtjylland, Denmark

PostDoc in aerobiological modelling Are you interested in atmospheric science and can you contribute to the development of a new generation of numerical models describing concentrations and transport of bioaerosols? Then the Department of Environmental Science invites you to apply for a 2 year post doc position, with possibility for extension. The position is associated with two research projects funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation: 1) NNF RECRUIT, 2022-2029 and NNF EARLY-BLIGHT, 2026-2029. The position is associated with two research projects funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation: 1) NNF RE

Postdoc in nanoscale quantum imaging with scanning NV magnetometry

Technical University of Denmark (DTU)

  • Copenhagen, Hovedstaden, Denmark

Do you want to contribute to a greener future by introducing state-of-the-art scanning nitrogen-vacancy (NV) magnetometry to visualize buried functional processes in energy and electronic materials that are otherwise inaccessible to materials scientists? At DTU Energy, our research targets exactly this, and to reach these goals, we are looking for a postdoc to work at the interface between future energy materials and state-of-the-art quantum sensing using NV magnetometry. You will work in a large team and must therefore both thrive in team-based research as well as contribute to a productive a
