Postdoctoral Researcher Position at the Center for Volatile Interactions
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have a profound impact on local and regional climates. Yet, this impact is highly uncertain due to the lack of reliable estimates for natural emissions and uptake of these reactive volatiles. All organisms produce, and some consume, mixtures of diverse volatile compounds such as VOCs, reactive nitrogen gases (e.g., HONO), and sulfur/halogenated compounds (e.g., DMS and methylhalides). However, biological sources and sinks of volatiles, other than terrestrial plants, remain poorly characterized. In the Center for Volatile Interactions (VOLT), we focus on VOC production, consumption and transformations associated with soil, cryptogams, freshwater, seawater, and glacial ice environments, as well as plant leaf and rhizosphere microbial communities. Our research encompasses experimental (field and laboratory) and modelling work and includes e.g. rate measurements, experiments with stable isotopes, and molecular analyses to assess volatile production/consumption processes and identify the organisms involved. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic, collaborative, and international research environment. VOLT is a Center of Excellence housed in Universitetsparken, Copenhagen, where we have laboratory facilities and state-of-the-art instrumentation for analyses of volatile compounds, molecular analyses of microbial community structure and activity, as well as incubation and climate chamber facilities. We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a PhD in biology, chemistry or related fields, to conduct cutting-edge, hypothesis-driven research within the scientific area of VOLT, focusing on process understanding related to VOC exchange in terrestrial ecosystems. You have the opportunity to propose a research plan starting from your own skills and experience, working, for example, with leaf surfaces, tree stems, soil, or lake sediment. The candidate should have a strong publication record in biological VOC research, biogeochemistry, metabolomics, microbiology, or related fields. Experience in designing and conducting experiments based on hypotheses is required while experience with VOC measurements using mass spectrometric methods, especially PTR-MS or GC-MS (or related instrumentation) is desirable as is experience with isotope-based approaches for studying biological processes. In addition, experience conducting independent research, securing competitive research funding, and contributing to the development of external funding applications will be considered an advantage. Experience in advanced statistical analyses and programming (e.g., R, Python, or related tools) is an asset. Further information on the Department is linked at https://www1.bio.ku.dk/ and on the recruiting unit at https://volt.ku.dk/. Inquiries about the position can be made to Professor Riikka Rinnan, riikkar@bio.ku.dk. The position is open from 1/12/2026 or as soon as possible thereafter, and is for 2 years. The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background. Terms of employment The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff. Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State.

Learning from nature: PhD position in AAV virology with applications in Gene Therapy
Project Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) is a leading vector for in vivo gene therapy, with >200 clinical trials and six products approved in Europe. However, rAAV manufacturing remains inefficient, and manufacturing thus proposes a significant bottleneck for safe and cost-effective AAV-based gene therapy. A key barrier in resolving this bottleneck is the limited understanding of AAV biology. For example, how host cells, helper viruses, and AAV gene products interact to coordinate replication and encapsidation remains unclear. This means that improvements in rAAV manufacturing approaches are mainly empirically driven and incremental at best. In this project, the PhD student will explore the regulatory mechanisms that govern AAV genome replication and packaging, focusing on how host cells manage these processes. In collaboration with the lab of Reproductive Genomics (prof. Thierry Voet), the student will furthermore use single-cell transcriptomics tools to identify the genes and gene products that drive AAV replication and packaging across time. Additionally, the effect of genome rescue on rAAV manufacturing will be assessed.The goal of this PhD project is to obtain critical insights into AAV biology, using virological tools. Moreover, the PhD student will be challenged to translate these findings into improved methods for rAAV production processes, enhancing yield and quality. Ultimately, this will advance gene therapy development and benefit patients with currently untreatable diseases. Profile You hold a Master’s degree in Biology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biosciences, (Bio-) medical Sciences, Bioscience engineering, Pharmacy or equivalent. You have a passion for hands-on experimental research, are interested in fundamental mechanistic virology and enjoy exploring new tools and technologies. Experience with basic life science techniques (cell culture, qPCR, western blot…) and working with viral vectors is highly desirable. Experience with RNAseq and/or single-cell methods is a very strong plus. A background in computational biology is highly valued. Candidates that do not have this background, are strongly motivated to acquire the relevant skills during the early phases of the PhD, supported by training and in close collaboration with experts in single-cell genomics. You have a creative mindset, and are not afraid to scientifically venture into uncharted territories. You are motivated to work in a dynamic and multidisciplinary environment, where you are challenged to work independently and critically evaluate your data. You have good communication skills and a strong command of English, both written and spoken.
