Interested in pursuing your PhD in Alpine Ecology? How do ecosystems emerge after glacial retreat? Come with us @ufz.de as a PhD researcher on the development of vegetation and microbiome in glacier forelands. recruitingapp-5128.de.umantis.com/Vacancies/33... #ecojobs #ecology #Alps #AlpineEcology
The job
Cooperating in the field of periglacial vegetation development with other Helmholtz centres, we offer a PhD position (f/m/x) to survey and analyse the development of vegetation and associated microbiomes in glacier forelands of the Alps.

Your tasks
• Collection of vegetation data in glacier forelands and surroundings
• Collection of soil and root samples
• Analyses of soil and root associated microbiomes through meta-barcoding
• Analysis of the link between vegetation and microbiome development as a function of (successional) time
• Scientific publications

We offer
A lot of things, but space does not permit. Please see the link for details.

Your profile
• Degree (Master, Diploma) in biology, ecology, geoecology or comparable courses of study
• Experience in the field of vegetation methods (vegetation surveys)
• Field work experience in soil and root sampling for microbiome analysis
• Lab skills to analyse the microbiome like DNA extraction, PCR, and sequencing
• Knowledge of the Northern Alpine flora
• Experience in high mountains and the ability to hike several hours a day and 1000 metres in altitude with luggage and equipment
• Orientation skills in the mountains
• Ability to work independently and solve unexpected problems
• Statistical skills (preferably in R), knowledge of data storage (databases) desirable
• Very good knowledge of English (communication in the working group, reading technical literature, writing technical articles)
