Job Description:
Post-doctoral fellow in Biogeochemical Modelling with a Focus on Soil Microbial Ecology
The Post-doctoral Fellow will lead research on the synthesis, characterization, and application of graphene-based materials, integrating ecological insights into modelling. The focus is on climate impact on soil organic carbon dynamics, involving the integration of soil microbial features into a hydro-biogeochemical framework. The candidate will act as a link between the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science and the Department of Biology. Duties include conducting research, potential teaching (up to 20% of working hours), and actively seeking external research funding.
How to Apply: Interested candidates should submit a single PDF file containing:
- Cover letter (max 2 pages) with a general description of past and future research interests.
- Résumé/CV, including a list of publications (max 5 pages).
- Copy of the doctoral degree certificate and other relevant certificates/grades (max 3).
- Contact information of two references.
