**PhD position (soil ecology)**
**How do biotic interactions explain the resistance and resilience of soil communities to climate extremes?**:
Extreme climatic events, such as heat waves and extreme droughts are major threats to soil biodiversity. It has also been suggested that high diverse soil communities are more resistant and resilient to heat waves and extreme drought. Yet, we know little about the biotic mechanisms through which high diverse soil communities can offset the abiotic stresses of heat waves and extreme drought. In this SNSF-funded PhD project, we aim to investigate how various aspects of biotic mechanisms (e.g., inter-, and intraspecific competition, predation, and dispersal) contribute to the resistance and resilience of soil communities. The project will use soil bacteria, fungi, and Collembola as key model organisms using those reared in our lab and collected from the field.

1) Experience in soil microbial ecology
- a M.Sc. thesis on soil microbial (bacteria and/or fungi) responses to global change factors is highly desirable.
2) Experience in sequencing methods and handling of molecular data.
3) Experience in conducting ecology (or microbiology) experiments.
4) Experience in data analysis and coding in statistical software platforms like R.
