Doctoral Researcher in Geomicrobiology and Microbial Ecology at GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences in Germany

The University of Duisburg-Essen is advertising a Postdoctoral Researcher position in microbial ecology within the Environmental Metagenomics group led by Prof. Dr. Probst . The role is part of the ERC Synergy project Archean Park and focuses on exploring microbial metabolism during the Archean Eon by studying the deep biosphere in high-CO2 ecosystems hundreds of meters below ground. This is a highly interdisciplinary opportunity combining metagenomics , microbiology , geomicrobiology , bioinfor...

Carleton University in Canada is advertising two fully funded graduate opportunities in Environmental Microbiology and Biogeochemistry for a research project on the biodegradation of microplastics in wetlands . The project begins in fall 2026 and includes collaboration with McGill University and Environment and Climate Change Canada . One position is a PhD project supervised by Dr. Allyson Brady , focusing on natural microbial communities that can decompose microplastics, lipid biomarkers, and r...

MARUM – Center for Marine Environmental Sciences, University of Bremen is advertising two PhD positions in organic geochemistry , isotope geochemistry , palaeontology , and deep-time geobiology . The project investigates the circumstances behind the rise and ecological success of eukaryotes , with a strong focus on early life evolution. The positions are hosted by Ilya Bobrovskiy (ERC PI) and are funded through an ERC Starting Grant . The post states a 4-year duration and a salary of 75% TV-L E1...

Doctoral and postdoctoral researcher positions are open in the Cluster of Excellence Microbes for Climate (M4C) at the University of Marburg in Germany , in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology, the University of Münster, and the University of Giessen. The project investigates how microbes contribute to the carbon cycle and how synthetic biology can be used to develop more efficient ways to sustainably convert CO2 . The research is highly interdisciplinary and...

The Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) is offering a postdoctoral position in microbial OMICS and pollution for 33 months, based in the Department of Plankton and Microbial Ecology within the MIBI group led by Hans-Peter Grossart at Lake Stechlin, Germany. The project uses metagenomics and related molecular approaches to study microbial colonization and the transmission of antibiotic resistance genes between prokaryotes and microeukaryotes, including fungi and pro...
