Postdoc position in Terrestrial Ecology: Terrestrial Nitroplast in Moss-Cyanobacteria Interactions

This postdoctoral position in terrestrial ecology focuses on the study of terrestrial nitroplast within moss-cyanobacteria interactions. The role requires advanced knowledge in terrestrial ecology, specifically in the biological and ecological processes involving mosses and cyanobacteria. Candidates should possess expertise in microbial ecology, plant-microbe interactions, and nitrogen fixation processes in terrestrial ecosystems. A strong background in ecological research methods, including field sampling, laboratory experiments, and data analysis related to nitrogen cycling, is essential. Familiarity with molecular biology techniques to study microbial communities, such as DNA/RNA extraction, sequencing, and bioinformatics, would be highly beneficial. The position demands proficiency in designing and conducting experiments that explore symbiotic relationships and nutrient dynamics in terrestrial habitats. Candidates are expected to have a PhD in ecology, environmental science, biology, or a related discipline, demonstrating rigorous academic training and research experience in terrestrial ecosystems. Strong analytical skills, scientific writing, and the ability to collaborate within interdisciplinary teams are important for success in this role. Experience with ecological modeling or statistical software may also be advantageous. Overall, this role suits candidates with a deep understanding of ecosystem ecology, microbial interactions, and nitrogen cycling, aiming to contribute to advancing knowledge of terrestrial nitroplast mechanisms in moss-cyanobacteria systems.
