About this position

This postdoctoral project focuses on genome-informed microbial biogeochemical modeling to improve understanding of soil carbon cycling under global warming. The successful candidate will work on quantifying microbial traits from metagenomes and using these traits to develop a microbial-explicit version of the dynamic vegetation model LPJ-GUESS.

The post is hosted by the Department of Biology, Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen, and is embedded in the Center of Excellence VOLT (Center for Volatile interactions). The team brings together microbial ecologists, biogeochemists, and ecosystem modelers in a collaborative, international research environment. The advert highlights state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, bioinformatics pipelines for microbial community and biogeochemical analyses, and access to supercomputing resources for computational work.

The appointed researcher will work with microbial genomes and metagenomes, using public databases and environmental metagenomic datasets generated by the group. A further part of the project is to infer microbial traits relevant for carbon cycling using computational structural biology tools for protein function prediction, and to implement microbial decomposition of soil organic matter within LPJ-GUESS. The position emphasizes close collaboration with specialists in process-based ecosystem modeling.

Inquiries may be directed to Jonathan Donhauser at the Department of Biology.

Funding details

Postdoctoral position with salary according to Danish academic agreements; salary supplement negotiation is possible.

What's required
