Postdoctoral Research Associate – Environmental Microbiome Research

Position Title:Postdoctoral Research Associate – Environmental Microbiome Research


Appointment Type:Post Doc/Trainee


Job Description:
Summary of Duties and Responsibilities:

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join a team investigating the mechanistic interpretation of microbiome dynamics. This work applies principles of quantitative ecology to systems microbiology, with the goal of strengthening the links between microbial cellular physiology, community dynamics, and ecosystem function.


Our research focuses on plant–microbial interactions for sustainable bioenergy and nutrient cycling, as well as understanding bacterial stress responses under environmental perturbations. The project will involve cultivating environmental bacteria from soil under controlled laboratory conditions and integrating wet-lab microbial ecology with cultivation approaches. Additional work will include imaging-based physiology, molecular and multi...
