Five Faculty Positions in Ocean Science - School of Ocean & Earth Science, University of Southampton

The Faculty of Biology at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, seeks an outstanding scientist in the field of Environmental Microbiology with a focus on terrestrial ecosystems.

This is a renewed announcement with an extended deadline.

PhD student position in microbial ecology of freshwater karst communities will be open in 2020 at the Department of Aquatic Microbial Ecology, Institute of Hydrobiology, Biology Centre CAS České Budějovice, Czech Republic

The announced position is within the framework of a research project addressing local and general patterns in microbial communities of surface and subsurface aquatic karst habitats across Europe. Our team will mainly focus on ecological processes taking place in microbial communities of subsurface aquifers and on their role in assembly of microbial consortia of deep lakes.

The Department of Aquatic Microbial Ecology, Institute of Hydrobiology, Biology Centre CAS, invites applications from prospective postdoctoral scientists and PhD students

Four positions (2 postdocs, 2 PhD students) are open in the Department of Aquatic Microbial Ecology, Institute of Hydrobiology, České Budějovice, Czech Republic to study the diversity of freshwater pro- and eukaryotes using high-throughput isolation, comparative genomics and experimental approaches. These positions are in the framework of the 5-year grant PELAGICS with multinational collaboration partners (see abstract below).
