Within the ERA-NET BiodivERsA 3 Project "Agro-ecosystem diversification:
digging deeper", we offer a three-year postdoc position (E13 TV-L FU 100%)
located in Berlin. Deadline for application: January 2, 2017.
The position is to carry out research on soil fungal ecology within the
framework of this joint project. Using different agroecological sampling
sites the diversity of fungi is to be assessed, inclusive of arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi. Central to the project is the link between biodiversity
and multifunctionality in agroecosystems in Europe. High-throuput sequencing
(Illumina MiSeq or others) is to be used, together with more classical
methods. A central process-level variable is soil aggregation.
Applicants should hold a Ph.D. degree in ecology, soil biology, microbiology
or other relevant field. In addition we look for the following:
- Experience with high-throughput sequencing, ideally of fungal communities,
including pertinent bioinformatics
- excellent knowledge of English
- very good knowledge of statistics with R, especially pertaining to the
analysis of community data
- basic knowledge of soil ecology, fungal ecology and/ or agroecosystems
- willingness to do fieldwork, and a driver license
Please send all application materials (cv, list of publications, ideally
copies of diplomas/ degrees) in one pdf per email to
ril...@zedat.fu-berlin.de quoting "Rillig-biodiversa" in the email subject
line. All applications received by January 2, 2017 will receive full
consideration.
