Microbiome exploration Cambridge University in United Kingdom

Open Postdoc position in the Lab of Rainer U. Meckenstock at University of Duisburg-Essen . The position is aimed at microbial ecologists with experience in environmental microbiology . Experience with oil-related systems is welcome but explicitly not required, and German language skills are also not required. This is a research opportunity in microbial ecology , microbiology , and environmental science , with a focus on ecological challenges and microbial interactions. The post is shared on Lin...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in soil carbon, soil health, microbiology, and landscape transition . This funded CASE PhD project, supervised by Prof Brian Reid in the School of Environmental Sciences , builds on the UKRI OpenLAND project to investigate how nature-based solutions and land-use change affect soil carbon stocks , carbon stability , and soil microbiome responses . The research combines field and laboratory work, including dry combustion, thermogravimetric analysis,...

This project is titled Combined Effects of Micro- and Nanoplastics and Environmental Contaminants on Skeletal Muscle Function . It sits at the intersection of Environmental Biology , Microbiology , and Nanotechnology , with a strong focus on skeletal muscle physiology, pollutant toxicity, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, ...

PhD opportunity at The University of Edinburgh, School of GeoSciences in soil carbon change and fungal-bacterial mechanisms in tree-planted upland ecosystems . This project sits at the intersection of microbial ecology , environmental science , biology , and earth science , with a strong focus on climate and environmental sustainability. The post is supervised by Dr Lorna Street , with CASE partner Forest Research supervisors Dr Mike Perks and Dr Elena Vanguelova . The opportunity is funded by N...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia on grassland fungi recovery after disturbance , with a strong focus on fungal ecology , biodiversity , microbiology , bioinformatics , genomics , soil science , and environmental biology . The project asks how long it takes fungal communities in unimproved, sensitively grazed lowland grasslands to recover after disturbance such as ploughing. These habitats are important for plant health, nutrient cycling, and carbon storage, but their fungal commu...
