Postdoc: Genome-Informed Microbial Soil Carbon Modeling

KU; København; In loco; DKK 520.000 - 660.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

University of Copenhagen invites applications for a 2-year Postdoctoral position in modeling of microbial soil carbon cycling. The successful candidate will quantify microbial traits from metagenomes to develop a microbial-explicit version of the LPJ-GUESS model, working with a dynamic team at VOLT.

Requirements include a PhD in computational biology, environmental sciences or related fields, strong microbial ecology and bioinformatics experience, and fluent English.
