Postdoc in Biogeography of Soil Bacteria.
Laboratory of Environmental Microbiology
OPENS THE POSITION FOR
Postdoc in Biogeography of Soil Bacteria
Job description
In contrast to vertebrates or plants, the biogeography of microbes is far less understood. It is not surprising if we consider how difficult is to observe them in the environment and how challenging it is to work with organisms that can reach the abundance of several billion individuals in a single gram of soil. The rapid growth and evolution, often simple reproduction and excellent ability to disperse set bacteria aside from larger organisms in terms of community assembly. Fortunately, current data and tools make it possible to discover and describe the rules driving microbial biogeography and dispersal, map their diversity and predict their future in a changing climate. If you wish to be involved, this position is just for you.
We are looking for a motivated postdoctoral fellow. The project will analyse biogeography of soil bacteria from local to global scales, map it and compare it with biogeography of fungi. The postdoctoral fellow will be involved in the compilation and statistical analysis of biogeographic data for bacteria (geographic distributions, environmental preferences, community composition, diversity patterns) as well as, to a limited extent, in environmental sampling and generation of new data to test research hypotheses. The project will benefit from our ongoing collaborations with several international institutions (Jyväskylä University, Technical University Dresden, ETH Switzerland, S-Bi K Frankfurt, UBC Vancouver, CMEC Copenhagen).
Requirements
The position is offered for an initial period of two years but may be extended.
The position is open until filled; starting date is negotiable.
How to apply
Please send your Curriculum Vitae, motivation letter and contacts for at least two independent professionals (such as Ph D or postdoc supervisors) who can provide reference.
For more information, please contact Petr Baldrian (baldrian@biomed.cas.cz).
