Postdoctoral Researcher in Plant–Microbe Interactions - Vacancy at Aarhus University
Your main responsibilities:
· Conduct independent and collaborative research into the molecular and genetic basis of plant–microbe interactions, with a particular emphasis on beneficial symbioses.
· Design, execute, and analyze experiments using molecular, microbiological, and omics-based approaches.
· Apply bacterial genetics and genomics to study mechanisms underlying plant–associated bacteria, including their symbiotic and adaptive traits.
· Collaborate with international partners and contribute to joint research efforts within the program.
· Present your work at group meetings, conferences, and in high-quality scientific publications.
· Contribute to the supervision of MSc and PhD students, fostering an inclusive and supportive research environment.
· You hold a PhD in Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Plant Biology, or a related field.
· You have strong expertise in molecular and genetic techniques, with prior experience in bacterial genetics and/or genomics.
· Experience in working with plant–microbe systems will be considered an advantage.
· Additional expertise in genome editing, transcriptomics, metabolomics, or microbiome profiling will also be an asset.
· You are curious, creative, and capable of driving projects independently while thriving in collaborative research settings.
· You have excellent communication skills and are fluent in English, both spoken and written.
· You are motivated to contribute to applied outcomes of fundamental research in support of sustainable agriculture.
The postdoctoral researcher will be affiliated with the Plant Molecular Biology section at the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Aarhus University, where the research program is coordinated.
The Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics is part of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and encompasses research within Plant Molecular Biology, Neurobiology, RNA Biology and Innovation, Protein Science, Cellular Health, Intervention and Nutrition.
