PhD Candidate in Microbiome Science and Engineering (270202) | NTNU - Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Ecosystem modeling, machine learning, microbial ecology, soil science, or computational biology.
 

 Applied environmental microbiology. The research will focus broadly on microbial physiology and genetics in CO2 reduction and N2 fixation processes, but we offer flexibility in the choice of specific research topics. 

The Lewin Lab at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH is looking for highly motivated postdoctoral fellow(s) interested in understanding the role of diversity and heterogeneity in oral and vaginal microbial communities.

The researcher will explore microbial life in the atmosphere and assess microbial invasions in the Arctic.

The Biology Centre of the Czech Academy of Sciences is seeking a student to work on the pan-microbiome of millipedes using stable isotopes and 'omics methods.

The River Ecosystems Laboratory (www.epfl.ch/labs/river/) at the Alpine and Polar Environmental Research Center (ALPOLE) of the Swiss Institute of Science and Technology (EPFL) in Sion, Switzerland, seeks excellent candidates for two PhD and one Postdoc position. In the context of a new research project funded by the Swiss Science Foundation, the selected candidates will unravel the success of a dominant and most enigmatic alga in high-mountain streams. Despite being unicellular, this alga forms complex macroscale structures, and it develops extensive blooms in highly oligotrophic waters.

PhD position investigating the expression of low- and high-affinity terminal oxidases, along with the environmental conditions (beyond oxygen concentration) that regulate their utilization for energy generation in representative soil bacteria.

The project will analyse biogeography of soil bacteria from local to global scales, map it and compare it to fungal biogeography

Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences invites applications for Senior Research Scientists (SRSs), equivalent to a principal investigator or faculty positions.

Recent Ph.D.s are invited to apply for postdoctoral fellowships to biodiversity or organisms in natural environments at The University of Texas at Austin.

We seek a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow specialising in molecular microbiology, microbial biotechnology and/or synthetic biology.

The project aims to understand the impact of microplastic pollution on the structure and functioning of the pelagic microbial food webs.

The Thrash lab at USC is recruiting a postdoc to modeling the metabolism of oligotrophic marine bacteria, including flux balance analysis with cultures.

The African Genome Center (AGC), a research-focused entity, operates through four key research axes: Biodiversity Genomics, OMICS and Metabolic Engineering, Genome Editing, and Natural Product Chemistry and Metabolomics. Hosting an advanced genomics platform, it aims to serve as a central hub for genome biology research and training in Morocco and Africa.

The AGC Team is an international and multicultural scientific community. Its primary mission is to democratize genomics research on the African continent. This involves conducting both basic and applied scientific research in areas such as agriculture, conservation, environment, food security, and health. Additionally, the center is committed to contributing to technological transfers and training highly qualified personnel.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: Characterize the diversity, functions and resilience of microbial communities associated with plant species used in ecological restoration.

https://www.laforestlab.com/positions

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES: The electrification of transportation requires the mining of critical metals. Our team has launched an interdisciplinary project aimed at mitigating the impact of these activities by investigating principles of plant acclimation to assist in the development of ecological restoration practices. The doctoral project will profit from a major experimental device deployed by our team in 2021, on the Whabouchi site operated by Nemaska Lithium. As part of this initiative, five plant species native to the region (shrubs and trees) were pre-acclimated to site conditions using 10 treatments. The project will include laboratory work (microbiology, genomics) as well as bioinformatics analyzes (U. de Sherbrooke) and entail fieldwork in the northern, remote region of Eeyou-Istchee (James Bay).

Goals :

(1) Characterize the bacterial and fungal communities of the rhizosphere of plant species (phylogenetic study), and the functions present in these microbial communities.

(2) Investigate correlations between microbial community structure and plant host success (survival and growth).

(3) Evaluate the contribution of plants to biogeochemical cycles through leaf loss (litter quality).
