PhD scholarship in fermentation-based production of biochemicals - BRIGHT

Are you passionate about sustainability and reducing environmental impact through biomanufacturing? Then come join us in developing advancing technologies for fermenting robust microbial cell factories and scalable bioprocesses that convert CO₂-derived feedstocks into high-volume chemicals.

This multi-year initiative consists of joint efforts between multiple groups covering the entire innovation pipeline, from metabolic tools and design, strain engineering, process design, fermentation, downstream processing, multi-omics, techno-economic validation, and business development. We aim to establish new industrial routes for essential chemicals in a low-carbon economy through interdisciplinary collaboration.

Are you establishing your career as scientist and are you looking for the best possible foundation for carrying out research on production of biochemicals from CO2-derived substrates?

You will play a key role in a project coordinated by Professor Alex Toftgaard Nielsen at BRIGHT (Novo Nordisk Foundation Biotechnology Research Institute for the Green Transition) at the Technical University of Denmark You will be involved in developing fermentation and downstream processes for production of biochemicals from mixed C1-derived substrates.

The goal is to develop microbial production systems that radically change the production of chemicals in our society1 …
