PhD Researcher in Plant-Microbe Interactions
5 days ago
A PhD research position is available at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in the Department of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology.
The research project focuses on understanding the complex relationships between plant-soil microbial interactions and ecosystem carbon cycling under climate change.
Key objectives include:
- Investigating the impact of macro-microclimate decoupling on soil microbial functioning and carbon cycling in Swedish forests
- Examining relationships between microclimates, soil microbial communities, and carbon cycling using advanced DNA- and RNA-based techniques
The PhD student will study how forest structure affects microclimatic conditions and how these conditions drive carbon cycling. The research involves field and laboratory work, including climate chamber experiments simulating warming scenarios.
Required qualifications include:
- Excellent communication skills in written and verbal English
- Critical and creative thinking
- Ability to conduct primary research and develop scientific publications
- Numerical and statistical skills
- Previous experience in molecular biology techniques using DNA and RNA is desirable
Academic requirements include a Master's degree in Ecology or a closely related discipline, with an emphasis on plants and/or soils and/or microbiology. A driving license is required for traveling to field sites.
