Frederiksberg C
The Department of Food Science, Section of Microbiology, Gut Health, and Fermentation invites applicants for a Postdoc position in the project of Inter-kingdom interactions with the aim of exploring innovative approaches to understanding interspecies interactions between bacteria and microalgae. We are looking for a highly enthusiastic and dynamic researcher to explore microalgae’s synergistic interactions with bacteria to increase production yields. The position is part of a research project funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark.
Background
Production of animal-based protein is responsible for more than half of greenhouse gas emissions from global food consumption. Therefore, the world is in need of feasible alternatives, such as microalgae. Microalgae have the ability to produce and accumulate polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), protein and glucans, which are considered of high nutritional value, as well as the ability to degrade pollutants (i.e. pesticides, hydrocarbons). Accordingly, various industries (i.e. food, pharma, biofuels, bioremediation) have opened the doors to microalgae production. However, production of microalgae is slow and costly.
Currently, we know that microalgae naturally live alongside bacteria, and that there is a wide diversity in emergent properties of multispecies communities. Our aim is to discover and use synergistic inter-kingdom interactions between microalgae and bacteria as growth promoter.
The postdoc’s duties will include research within microbiology and inter-kingdom interactions, as well as teaching and supervision of student projects. The post may also include performance of other duties associated with running a small research group.
Further information about the Department can be found at http://www.science.ku.dk/english/about-the-faculty/organisation/.
The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.

Our aim is to harness the potential of microorganisms for a brighter and more sustainable future.
The groups is part of a section with ~50 members. The section works on a range of topics from gut health, food fermentation and starter culture functionality over food preservation and spoilage including biocontrol, microbial food safety and hygiene, gut microflora and probiotics in humans and animals, and microbiological quality assurance. The department hosts comprehensive infrastructure and well-equipped facilities
