Postdoctoral Researcher in Organic Geochemistry and Soil Microbiology

Your Position
Soil is a critical storage pool for carbon in Earth's surface. The impact of anthropogenic climate forcing on carbon cycling in soils remains unclear, primarily due to limited understanding of how microbial metabolism and diversity interact to affect carbon partitioning between microbial biomass and respiration (carbon use efficiency or CUE). In central Europe, increased drought frequency and intensity is likely to affect carbon cycling and CUE in soils in the near future, due to changes in the availability of organic matter as moisture content decreases, and to changes in the composition of organic matter input from plants. 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 "Drought Impacts on soil microbial metabolism in European foRests (DRIER)" will develop and apply a novel tool to quantify changes in the central carbon metabolism of soil microbial communities. Within the context of this larger project, the postdoctoral researcher will test the suitability of compound-specific hydrogen isotope measurements of PLFAs as a proxy for net soil microbial metabolism. They will conduct a series of increasingly complex laboratory experiments beginning with simple co-cultures inoculated with two model bacterial species and progressing to mesocosms of natural microbiomes from local forest soils, from which they will integrate compound-specific isotopic data with metabolomic, metatranscriptomic, and metagenomic analyses.
Your Profile
We are seeking a researcher with a doctoral degree in organic geochemistry, soil biogeochemistry, microbial ecology, microbiology, or a related discipline. Candidates should have significant experience with compound-specific stable isotopes or multi-omic datasets. The ability to work both independently and within a team, as well as good communication skills including fluency in English, are essential.
