Postdoc in plant physiology and molecular biology of EV-based plant-microbe communication

The Department of Food Science, Aarhus University, invites applications for a two-year postdoc position in plant physiology and molecular biology of EV-based plant-microbe communication. The position is part of the EU-funded EVOLVE project and focuses on controlled-environment biological testing of extracellular vesicles as a non-GMO platform for steering plant performance and plant-microbe interactions.

Expected start date and duration of employment

This is a two-year fixed-term postdoc position from 1 November 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Job description

The postdoc will lead the Department of Food Science's controlled-environment testing activities in Work Package 5 of the EVOLVE project. The work will generate biological evidence linking extracellular vesicle (EV) treatments to plant physiological and molecular responses and will feed into the project's design-test-model cycle.
