Company Overview
Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet (SLU) is a leading academic institution in sustainable life, based on science and education. Our research focuses on the interaction between humans, animals and ecosystems, and the responsible use of natural resources.

Job Description

A PhD position is available at SLU's Department of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology. The department provides a dynamic and international research environment with scientists conducting fundamental and applied research in plant-microbe interactions, mycology, microbial ecology and evolution, as well as biodiversity.

The position is placed in the Forest Microbiology group and focuses on how forest vegetation structure influences macro-microclimatic decoupling and its effects on ecosystem carbon cycling.

In the field, you will study how forest structure affects macro-microclimatic decoupling and how microclimates, plant diversity, and soil properties drive carbon cycling, including soil microbial responses to temperature and moisture.

In the lab, you will design climate experiments and use advanced DNA- and RNA-based techniques to analyze microbial community composition and functions.

The project allows flexibility to pursue individual research ideas within forest microbial ecology and offers collaboration opportunities across Swedish ecosystems.
