The postdoc will be part of the research groups of Drs. Lars Angenent and Lars Ottosen in a joint collaborative project. We are seeking highly talented and motivated staff scientists to work on CO2-to-protein to convert CO2 and H2. Specifically, the postdoc will operate 5-L-bioreactors and a 200-L scaled up pilot plant, involving bioprocess engineering, bioreactor design, and scaling approaches. Expected start date and duration of employment The position is full-time and expected to begin on 1 October 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter. The expected duration is 2 years and 3 months. Job description We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join an interdisciplinary research project on CO2-to-protein. The Angenent lab, in close collaboration with the Ottosen Lab have, together with the Novo Nordisk Foundation CO2 Research Center (CORC), built an extensive laboratory facility to operate a 200-L pilot plant. This laboratory in BCE at Aarhus University, has extensive expertise in bioprocess engineering and applied microbiology. The postdoc on reactor design and scaling will work closely with another postdoc to operate the bench-scale and pilot-scale bioreactors. We offer an exciting, interdisciplinary research environment at the forefront of bioprocess engineering; a workday with daily contact with many different people in an international and creative research environment; and a professional, but informal work environment. The tasks will be interdisciplinary, including: Participate in the design and detailed engineering of necessary changes to the current pilot-plant setup. Support operation and testing of the up-scale bioreactors. Maintain detailed records of experimental data, process conditions, and system modifications. Publish scientific articles based on data collected during the research, development, and innovation of up-scaled microbial electrochemical reactor. Present research findings at conferences. Collaborate with a digital-twinning postdoc to model the pilot-plant system. Your profile We are looking for candidates with strong academic backgrounds and a passion for sustainable process development. The positions require the ability to work both independently and collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams. Candidates are expected to demonstrate strong problem-solving skills, scientific integrity, and a proactive attitude toward research, engineering, and knowledge sharing. Qualified individuals should have a PhD in, preferentially anaerobic, gas fermentation, or related bioengineering disciplines with a focus on both anaerobic and aerobic metabolism and operation. Experience with operating a multi-110-L pilot plant is sought after. Who we are The Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering was established on January 1, 2021, in connection with Aarhus University’s reorganization of the engineering area. The department employs around 175 people and is responsible for research and education within the department’s scientific areas. We educate both Bachelors and Masters of Science in Engineering and around 825 students are enrolled in our study programs. Furthermore, we also offer an ambitious PhD program. Our PhD students have high academic ambitions and deliver high-quality results for both the private and the public sectors. At the Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering, focus is on living systems, the biology of organisms, efficient production, and transformation of chemicals, materials and energy. We translate knowledge within biotechnology, food technology, environmental technology, chemical engineering, industrial biotechnology, medical biotechnology and electrochemical engineering, and more into new technologies and value-creating solutions that can also be used in the business community. Many of our research and development activities are based on companies' specific innovation needs or specialist application areas. Close collaboration with the public sector and private businesses ensures that the knowledge and technology generated in the department's research environments has a clear anchoring in reality and benefits the surrounding society. We also provide research-based public sector consultancy and advice on technology in agriculture and food. What we offer At the Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering, Aarhus University, we offer a dynamic and supportive environment for researchers who are passionate about sustainable technologies and interdisciplinary collaboration. Specifically, we provide: Access to well-developed research infrastructure, including pilot-scale experimental facilities and state-of-the-art laboratories. An interdisciplinary research environment spanning chemical engineering, process systems, biotechnology, and Power-to-X technologies. Opportunities to collaborate closely with national and international academic partners, as well as industrial stakeholders. A research culture that encourages open dialogue, innovation, and critical thinking across fields. A collegial and inclusive workplace with networking activities, knowledge sharing, and a commitment to team development. A strong focus on professionalism, equality, and work-life balance, ensuring a healthy and productive working environment. You will become part of a growing research initiative with real-world impact and visibility, and have the chance to contribute to shaping next-generation sustainable technologies. Place of work and area of employment The place of work is Gustav Wieds Vej 10D, 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark, and the area of employment is Aarhus University with affiliated institutions.
