Postdoc position in soil microbial ecology: Czech Republic
Biology Centre ASCR – Institute of Soil Biology, Czech Republic is looking for a soil microbial ecologist with a background in bioinformatics. The researcher will be involved in research on:
(i) the effects of selected pharmaceuticals on soil microbial community and soil functioning;
(ii) transformations of organic matter in digestive tracts of soil invertebrates using molecular biology and bioinformatics tools.
Postdoctoral research project details
Major aims of the two-year work:
- To link microbial community activity and composition with physical and chemical parameters of diverse agricultural soils with potential to dissipate selected pharmaceuticals.
- To isolate and identify microbial consortia with degradation potential.
- To describe the role of soil microorganisms in degradation of organic matter in digestive tracts of soil invertebrates.
- To describe differences in degradation potential of microbial community in various soil types.
How to apply
- Applications, including CV with publication list – in last 3 years at least 2 research articles
- diploma
- documents showing activity outside Czech Republic in 2 years from the last 3 years
- documents to studying PhD
