PhD Stipend in Trancriptomics and RNAi technology

at  Aalborg Universitet

At the Faculty of Engineering and Science, Department of Chemistry and Bioscience, a PhD stipend is available within the general study program Biotechnology, Chemistry and Environmental Engineering. The PhD stipend is open for appointment from 15.08.2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. The Department of Chemistry and Bioscience provides cutting-edge research and teaching in biotechnology, biology, environmental science, chemistry, and chemical engineering. Our research solves important challenges for the benefit of society, and through research-based teaching, we educate independent, collaborative, and solution-oriented bachelors, graduates, and PhDs. The department consists of around 230 employees and enrolled PhD Students, including 55 assistant, associate, and full professors. The researchers at the department conduct internationally competitive research within a range of topics and are involves in the publication of around 250 peer reviewed publications annually. At the department, we have eight high-profile research areas and individual researchers who deliver world-class applied and basic research with a mission-driven approach, and who contribute to the development of new technologies, methods, and new basic insights within natural science and engineering.
