Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team at the Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen.

Company Overview:

The Center for Volatile Interactions (VOLT) is a dynamic and collaborative research environment focused on understanding the interactions between marine microorganisms and their volatile organic compounds.
