Postdoc in Robotics-assisted Strain Characterization – Advancing Sustainable Agriculture - DTU Bioengineering

Job description

Are you ready to shape the future of sustainable agriculture? Join DTU Bioengineering as a postdoctoral researcher in the Initiative for Biofertilizer Innovation and Science ( IBIS ) and contribute to building a world-class research hub focused on advancing microbial solutions for a sustainable future. DTU Bioengineering is excited to announce a 3½ year postdoctoral researcher position, as part of the newly launched global initiative for Biofertilizer Innovation and Science. IBIS is a bold, five-year open-science initiative with the ambition to revolutionize whole-cell biosolutions in agriculture (BioAg). Our goal is to advance the fundamental understanding of what makes an effective biofertilizer and to develop the enabling technologies and translational framework needed to bring robust and affordable microbial solutions to farmers across the globe. The initiative is supported by 210 million DKK (approximately 30 million USD) in combined funding from the Gates Foundation and the Novo Nordisk Foundation. Central to the initiative is the development of an open R&D playbook—freely accessible to researchers worldwide—to accelerate the discovery, maturation, and deployment of scientifi...
