About this position
MAGIEC Project at the University of Toronto, Canada is recruiting for 1 Postdoctoral Fellow and 1 PhD student in the Biogeochemistry Research Group led by Prof. Maria Dittrich.
The project, MAGIEC (Mudflats Across Gradients of Human Impact and Environmental Extreme: Blue Carbon Dynamics), is an international collaboration involving Canada, Ireland, and Poland. The research examines how environmental extremes and human activities influence carbon cycling and greenhouse gas dynamics in coastal mudflat ecosystems.
Postdoctoral Fellow research focus: sediment biogeochemistry, carbon sequestration, microbial and geochemical controls on carbon cycling, GHG fluxes, environmental drivers, and field/lab experiments. The role also includes mentoring graduate and undergraduate students.
Postdoctoral qualifications: PhD in Environmental Science, Earth Sciences, Marine Science, Geochemistry, Microbiology, Ecology, or a related field; demonstrated publication record; field and laboratory research experience; strong analytical skills.
PhD research focus: blue carbon storage and cycling in coastal mudflats, including sediment-water interface processes, microbial ecology, carbon sequestration, mineral-organic interactions, eDNA, and coastal ecosystem responses.
PhD qualifications: MSc in Environmental Science, Earth Sciences, Biology, Marine Science, Geochemistry, or a related field; strong academic record; interest in interdisciplinary research; field/lab experience is an asset.
Working environment: international research setting, state-of-the-art analytical facilities, international fieldwork, and participation in a large blue carbon consortium.
Application materials: single PDF with cover letter, CV, and transcripts for the PhD; 3 references and 1 representative publication for the PostDoc. Applications should be sent to Prof. Maria Dittrich at [email protected].
Deadline: review begins immediately and continues until the positions are filled.
