Your responsibilities
The successful candidate will join a strong and growing Soil Biogeochemistry group studying the interactions of minerals, microbes, and organic matter in the face of climate change.
The candidate is expected to develop and lead research on the dynamics of microbe-mineral-organic matter interactions in the rhizosphere, and their vulnerability to climate change drivers.
Our group offers the opportunity to conduct laboratory-, growth chamber- or field-based experiments. The candidate will also have access to cutting-edge geochemical and molecular approaches, including stable isotope tracers, spectro/microscopic techniques, and microsensors.
The candidate is expected to work collaboratively within our group and utilize an extensive network of international collaborators across Switzerland, Europe, and the US. The candidate will also contribute to mentoring of Bachelor and Masters students and assist with a Masters-level field and laboratory courses; overall contribution up to 25% towards teaching and other institutional activities.
Your qualifications
To expand our Soil Biogeochemistry group, we are looking for someone with the following background:
- Successful candidates will have an excellent PhD in biogeosciences, geochemistry, microbiology, or related field.
- Strong motivation to develop independent research on microbe-mineral-organic matter interactions in soils, with the possibility to apply for external funding.
- Excellent knowledge of biogeochemical processes within soils, particularly plant-microbe-mineral interactions, is a requirement.
- Prior experience with spectroscopic, microscopic, and mass spectrometry tools to characterize minerals and organic matter is required.
- Familiarity with experiments in plant and soil sciences, basic wet chemical lab procedures and analyses, and data analysis is required.
- Excellent skills in written and oral English are required. Working knowledge of French is preferable but not necessary.
- Candidates with diverse backgrounds, well-honed interpersonal skills and an ability to work well within a multicultural team are particularly strongly encouraged to apply.

The Soil Biogeochemistry group within the Faculty of Geoscience and the Environment offers a vibrant workplace in a multicultural, diverse and dynamic academic environment. The resources available in the Faculty as well as UNIL more broadly offer extensive opportunities for technical and professional training, international collaboration, and personal growth. We offer a full-time postdoctoral position at a competitive salary (82-92K CHF/year, maximum of 5 years) in an enriching academic environment.
