We are looking for a laboratory technician in microbiology for part-time fixed-term position at the Life Science Center, School of Science and Technology.

Background
The project is part of an ongoing collaboration between the Systems Immunology and Microbiology group at the Life Science Center, School of Science and Technology, Örebro university and researchers at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala.

The project focuses on soil microbiota and its effect on PFAS phytoremediation using hydroponics. The duties will include both field and laboratory work on PFAS contaminated soils and groundwater. The technician will help set-up and maintain hydroponic plant studies, process samples and collate data. Duties will also involve field sampling of soils and groundwater for microbiome analysis and assisting with bioinformatics and microbiome analysis. Recording, collating and summarizing of data is an expected part of the field and lab work.
