Birmensdorf ZH, Schweiz Karlstad University Vollzeit
PostDoc in Microbial Ecology 80-100% (f/m/d)

The Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL is part of the ETH Domain. Approximately 600 people work on the sustainable use and protection of the environment and on the handling of natural hazards.

The Forest Soils and Biogeochemistry research unit conducts integrative research on various aspects of the soil, from biogeochemical processes to soil biodiversity and its functions. The Rhizosphere Processes group is offering a position starting in April 2025, initially limited to a duration of 2 years, as a PostDoc in Microbial Ecology 80-100% (f/m/d).


This position offers an exciting opportunity to participate in an international research project on “Microbial biodiversity and Carbon Use Efficiency as Nature-based solution for soil carbon stabilization (BIOCUE)”. The BIOCUE project will investigate how Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) affect soil carbon (C) balance by studying their impact on microbial diversity, function, and Carbon Use Efficiency (CUE). In collaboration with the international project partners, your role will involve planning and conducting fieldwork, designing and executing laboratory experiments, processing and analysing samples, analysing datasets, preparing manuscripts, and publishing them in peer-reviewed scientific journals. You will also present the research outputs at local and international conferences and engage with stakeholders.

You hold a PhD in biology or environmental sciences, with a strong background in microbiology and ecology. Ability to conduct field and lab work independently, along with solid knowledge of environmental science and molecular biology methods, is required. Extended skills in DNA/RNA sequencing techniques and bioinformatics are essential. Fluency in English (both oral and written), ability to supervise junior team members, excellent communication skills, and a collaborative mindset are key to success in this role.

Please send your complete application to Jeanine Gehring, Human Resources WSL, by uploading the requested documents through our webpage. Applications via email will not be considered. Dr. Aline Frossard (aline.frossard@wsl.ch) will be happy to answer any questions or offer further information. WSL is committed to diversity and inclusion as core values. We actively promote gender equality and foster an open, inclusive work environment.
