The Forest Soils and Biogeochemistry research unit, conducting integrative research on various aspect of the soil, from biogeochemical processes to soil biodiversity and its functions. The Rhizosphere Processes group is offering a position starting in April 2025, initially limited to a duration of 2 years, as a

 

This position offers an exciting opportunity to participate in an international research project on “Microbial biodiversity and Carbon Use Efficiency as Nature-based solution for soil carbon stabilization (BIOCUE)”. The BIOCUE project will investigate how Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) affect soil carbon (C) balance by studying their impact on microbial diversity, function, and Carbon Use Efficiency (CUE). The BIOCUE project is part of a European Biodiversa+ initiative. In collaboration with the international project partners, your role will involve planning and conducting fieldwork, designing, and executing laboratory experiments, processing and analysing samples, analysing datasets, preparing manuscripts, and publishing them in peer-reviewed scientific journals. You will also present the research outputs at local and international conferences and engage with stakeholders.

 

You hold a PhD in biology or environmental sciences, with a strong background in microbiology and ecology. Ability to conduct field- and labwork independently and solid knowledge of environmental science and molecular biology methods is required, along with extended skills in DNA/RNA sequencing techniques and bioinformatics. Fluency in English (both oral and writing), ability to supervise junior team members, excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset are key to success in this role. 

Please send your complete application to Jeanine Gehring, Human Resources WSL, by uploading the requested documents through our webpage. Applications via email will not be considered.
