Postdoctoral position on archaea-bacteria interactions and cooperation

This postdoctoral position focuses on the study of interactions and cooperation between archaea and bacteria, requiring advanced expertise in microbiology, molecular biology, and microbial ecology. Candidates should possess a strong background in microbial physiology, genetics, and biochemistry, with experience in experimental techniques such as cultivation of archaea and bacteria, microscopy, and molecular assays. Familiarity with omics technologies, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, or metabolomics, is highly advantageous for analyzing microbial communities and their interactions. The role likely demands proficiency in bioinformatics tools and data analysis to interpret complex datasets related to microbial interactions. A PhD in microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, or a related field is essential, reflecting a high level of education and research training. The candidate should demonstrate the ability to design and conduct independent research, analyze results critically, and contribute to scientific publications. Collaborative skills are important, as the position may involve interdisciplinary teamwork with other researchers studying microbial ecology and evolution. Knowledge of environmental microbiology and the ecological roles of archaea and bacteria can enhance the candidate's effectiveness in this role. Overall, the position requires a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical laboratory skills to advance understanding of microbial cooperation and interactions at the molecular and community levels.
