Postdoctoral Researcher in Stable-Isotope Nitrogen Ecology and Orbitrap Isotopologue Analysis at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW), Wageningen, Netherlands. This two-year postdoc focuses on stable-isotope tracing , nitrogen cycling , nitrogen ecology , and Orbitrap isotopologue/isotopomer analysis . The project aims to improve mechanistic understanding of how nitrogen moves through ecological systems and how it is transformed, transferred, retained, and lost across terrestrial and...

Aaron Leininger, Assistant Professor at Tulane University, is recruiting PhD students to join his group in the Tulane School of Science and Engineering. The opening is in Environmental Microbiology , with research likely centered on microbial processes in environmental systems, microbial ecology, and related topics at the interface of biology and environmental science. This is a PhD opening starting in Spring or Summer 2027 . The post does not mention funding details, tuition coverage, stipend, ...

Wageningen University & Research is advertising a fully funded PhD on moss traits, bryophytes, fire ignitability, peatland, tundra, and vegetation-climate feedbacks . The project asks how moss functional traits influence fire ignition and fire dynamics in high-latitude ecosystems , including boreal peatlands and tundra, where warming, permafrost thaw, and increasing fire frequency are reshaping carbon storage and ecosystem functioning. The PhD is embedded in the Plant Ecology and Nature Conserva...

Postdoc opportunity at Utrecht University in ocean acidification and the marine phosphorus cycle. The project, PHOSFLUX, is an NWO-funded collaboration between Utrecht University and NIOZ that investigates how ocean acidification may alter CaCO3 fluxes, phosphorus cycling, ocean fertility, and CO2 uptake. The postdoctoral researcher will focus on biogeochemical modelling and develop a reactive-transport model for phosphorus dynamics in sinking and deposited marine snow. The work includes process...

Fully funded PhD position in plant–microbe ecology at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW), Netherlands, in the Departments of Terrestrial Ecology and Microbial Ecology, in collaboration with the University of San Francisco de Quito. The project focuses on the biogeography of plant-associated fungi on the Galápagos Islands , with research themes including fungal diversity, plant–fungal interactions, mycology, and ecosystem ecology. This is a strong fit for candidates interested in mi...
