PhD Position in Microbial Ecology and Biogeochemistry
We wish to fill one PhD mobility fellowships at the Institute of Biology and the Nordic Center of Earth Evolotion (NordCEE), University of Southern Denmark, with the following description:
Activity study of microorganisms in marine environments using molecular ecology tools in combination with biogeochemical analysis.
Research will be on microorganisms living in marine water and sediments and it includes several field trips to marine environments around the world. We focus on microorganisms within the sulphur and methane cycle and combine microbial activity and molecular ecology with biogeochemistry and stable isotope analysis. The successful applicant should have interest in one or several of these areas and like to do both laboratory and field studies.
As this is a mobility fellowship, the student’s present degree must have been awarded from a university other than the University of Southern Denmark.
