in Microbial Ecology
SLU develops knowledge about natural resources as well as social systems – everything that lives and grows. At SLU we conduct research, teach and inform about the opportunities, and possible risks incurred, when using our forests, landscapes, soils and animals in different ways.
The Faculty of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences is the largest of the four faculties of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Sweden. The faculty, which is located in Uppsala 65 km north of Stockholm, covers a wide range of disciplines, spanning over agriculture, food and biotechnology to natural resources, environment and veterinary and human medicine.
Main campuses are located at Alnarp, Skara, Ultuna and Umeå. Research and teaching activities are carried out throughout the country.
www.slu.seThe Department of Microbiology has about 70 employees, including about 20 PhD students, active within the two main research areas Environmental Microbiology and Food and Feed Microbiology.
We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher in Microbial Ecology. The aim is to address the significance of microbial diversity for soil ecosystem functioning and to elaborate conceptual models in the emerging microbial ecology framework. The work will focus on functional resilience and redundancy, as well as biodiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality, using nitrogen cycling bacterial and archaeal communities in soil as models. The applicant will work in close connection to the Uppsala Microbiomics Center (www.microbiomics.se) and in collaboration with the Department of Ecology, SLU. Supervision of PhD students may also be included. The position is full-time for a period of two years, starting spring 2009.
Qualifications: Applicants should have a PhD degree or equivalent, a strong scientific background in microbial ecology or ecology. Experiences in molecular methods are desired and knowledge in statistics, modelling and/or bioinformatics is a merit. Priority will be given to applicants who have been awarded their PhD degree at most five years before the last date for application.
SLU is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
