Basel, Basel-Stadt, Schweiz myScience Vollzeit

The Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Basel invites applications for a PhD position in organic geochemistry and environmental sciences. The researcher will be part of a project developing and applying hydrogen isotope ratios of phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) as indicators of soil microbial metabolism, and integrating this proxy with multi-omic tools.

Soil is a critical storage pool for carbon in Earth's surface. How carbon cycling will change in soils as a result of anthropogenic climate forcing remains unclear. To improve our process-based understanding of how carbon cycling will change in the soils of central European forests under drought, the SNSF funded project will develop and apply a novel tool to quantify changes in the central carbon metabolism of soil microbial communities.

We are looking for a researcher with a Master's degree in geochemistry, soil science, microbial ecology, microbiology, or a related discipline. Experience with compound specific stable isotopes or with environmental DNA is highly desirable. The ability to work both independently and within a team, as well as good communication skills including fluency in English are essential.
