The research project will investigate how microorganisms adapt to extreme environments such as the deep biosphere and acidic mining waters.
The project will use high throughput nucleic acid sequencing and protein stable isotope probing to link the microorganisms present, their metabolic capabilities, and the processes they carry out in response to environmental conditions and how this affects nutrient fluxes.
Qualification requirements for the position are a PhD in environmental microbiology and knowledge of handling large ‘omics’ data sets plus stable isotope probing with a focus on the interactions of key players in energy and nutrient flows in microbial communities.
Other assessment grounds that would place the candidate at an advantage include documented evidence of research experience in aquatic microbiology as well as knowledge in bioinformatic analysis of ‘omics’ sequencing data. In addition, the Post Doc should have a high proficiency in written and spoken English, be able to solve problems, and have the ability to work independently as well as interact well in a research group.
Terms of employment: The position will be 100 % for 1 year, withgood opportunities to be extended.
