Postdoctoral fellowship on “Aquatic microbial ecology” in the group of Prof. Dr. Kirsten Küsel at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena
We focus research activities on experimental platforms like AquaDiva that addresses the vertical dimension of biodiversity. We are seeking a post-doctoral researcher to perform a synthesis of bacteria-bacteria interactions and overall community interactions. In addition, we want to integrate the growing fields of macroecology with microbial ecology. For doing this, we seek an enthusiastic postdoc to join our multinational and interdisciplinary team (http://www.geomicrobiology.de/). *PLEASE APPLY BY MAY 31 2017 via apply.idiv.de <http://apply.idiv.de/> * *CONTACT Dr. Kusel (kirsten.kue...@uni-jena.de <kirsten.kue...@uni-jena.de>) for further questions regarding this position * *Topic/job description:* - Data analysis using advanced statistics mainly using R based multivariate statistics, network analysis toolboxes and modeling, e.g. structured equation modeling - Meta-omic analyses and mining of molecular microbial physiology databases - Teamwork within iDiv (especially with the groups for theory and synthesis) and other AquaDiva partners - Co-supervision of doctoral researchers and supervision of master students - Writing high-ranking scientific publication *Requirements:* - PhD in (molecular) microbial ecology, ecology, or bioinformatics with a background in ecology - Experience in working with omics ́ databases (high-throughput DNA or RNA-sequencing) - Training in multivariate statistics and network analysis - Excellent knowledge of the English language in speaking and writing - Solid experience in scientific publishing attested by first authored publications in ISI listed journals -- Dylan J.
