Subsurface microbiology plays a critical role in shaping Earth's ecosystems, driving biogeochemical processes, and addressing critical environmental challenges. ISSM provides a unique forum for researchers to explore the complex interactions between subsurface microorganisms and their environments.

In addition to the 2 postdoc jobs posted yesterday, we’re recruiting 2 PhD students (environmental microbiology/ molecular ecology) to join us from April. The projects will map microbial populations across niches in bioelectrochemical systems relevant to biomethanation & link them to performance.

Two fully funded PhD candidate positions in Electromicrobiology (3 years)

Application deadline: 4 March 2026 at 23:59 hours local Danish time
