The Cluster of Excellence ‘Microbes for Climate (M4C)’ deciphers the fundamental molecular mechanisms of microbial contributions to the carbon cycle and uses synthetic biology to develop more efficient ways to sustainably convert CO2. This knowledge will be generated in a scale-bridging approach (from the atomic structure of enzymes to the systems level of the cell) through highly interdisciplinary and integrative studies. Within M4C, Marburg University, the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg, the University of Münster and the University of Giessen join forces. Together, we invite applications for a position as Doctoral and Postdoctoral Researcher Positions in the Cluster of Excellence ‘Microbes for Climate’

The following qualification positions are to be filled:

• 7 doctoral positions, each initially limited to 3 years, part-time 65%
• 2 postdoctoral positions, each initially limited to 2 years, full-time

Doctoral positions may be extended by up to 1 year, and postdoctoral positions by up to 2 years. Remuneration and pension scheme is according to the currently applicable collective agreements of the host institution (TV-H, TV-L, TVöD-Bund or comparable).
