Postdoctoral Researcher: Ecology of Deep Soil Forest Fungi

vor 2 Wochen


Basel, Schweiz Universität Basel Vollzeit

**Your position**

This project takes advantage of a long-term forest monitoring network in Switzerland, of which an archive of 2100 fungal mycelium samples from soil cores down to 100 cm is available. Your main task will be to characterise the deep soil fungal communities using long-read sequencing and shotgun metagenomics to obtain functional insights. You will be modelling the deep soil fungal communities with a wealth of environmental metadata like soil chemistry, N deposition and tree physiology. The goal is to advance our understanding of how exploitation of deeply located nutrient and water resources by soil fungi may improve tree health.
