3-years PhD Position in Flow Biocatalysis at Aarhus University, DENMARK

This PhD position in Flow Biocatalysis at Aarhus University is designed for candidates interested in advanced research within the interdisciplinary fields of biocatalysis and flow chemistry. The role likely requires a strong foundation in biochemistry, chemical engineering, or related life sciences, with an emphasis on enzyme catalysis and continuous flow processes. Candidates should be proficient in experimental design, handling biocatalysts, and operating flow reactors or microfluidic systems. Skills in analytical techniques such as chromatography, spectroscopy, and possibly molecular biology methods are valuable for characterizing biocatalytic reactions and optimizing conditions. Familiarity with data analysis, process optimization, and possibly computational tools for reaction modeling would enhance research effectiveness. The position expects a research-oriented mindset, problem-solving abilities, and the capacity to work independently as well as collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams. Excellent communication skills are important for documenting results and publishing scientific papers. Although specific experience and education levels are not detailed, a candidate typically holds a relevant Master’s degree or equivalent in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, or biotechnology, demonstrating strong academic performance and motivation for doctoral studies. This opportunity offers a three-year commitment to contribute to cutting-edge developments in sustainable chemical synthesis using enzymatic flow technologies, aligning with current trends in green chemistry and process intensification.
