We are looking for a PhD student (fully funded position) to join the lab of Amelia Rotaru at Nordcee, a section at the Department of Biology at the Faculty of Science, University of Southern Denmark. The lab conducts research in ecophysiology with a particular focus on electroactive microorganisms, microbe-mineral/metal, or interspecies interactions. We use electrochemistry, molecular biology, isotopic labelling, expression studies, genetic manipulations, and high-resolution microscopy tools to understand fundamental aspects of how microorganisms interact with their extracellular environment.
The position is funded by a European Research Council Consolidator grant. Together with a team of five, you will explore the impact of anthropogenic minerals on interspecies interactions involved in methane cycling. The specific aim of your project will be to study syntrophic partnerships mediated by conductive minerals (like chars or reduced iron-oxides) in coastal sediments from the Arctic and subarctic.
Application deadline: 1 July 2022.
Start date: 1 September 2022.
