Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) is advertising a 2-year postdoctoral researcher position in fungal ecology within the Soil Microbiology Group at the Department of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology in Uppsala, Sweden. The project focuses on grassland fungi , especially the waxcaps and allied CHEGD fungi , which are important indicators of semi-natural grasslands and of conservation concern. The successful candidate will work with citizen scientists to map fungal diversity acro...

The Environmental Biotechnology cluster in the Industrial Biotechnology department at KTH Royal Institute of Technology is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to work on anaerobic processes for bioplastic valorization. The project centers on the co-fermentation of food waste and bioplastics to produce value-added bioproducts such as volatile fatty acids and biogas, with attention to the full pathway from bioproduction to microbial ecology analysis and downstream separation and pur...

Rumakanta Sapkota, Associate Professor at Aarhus University, is advertising a two-year postdoc position in soil microbial ecology and climate change mitigation in agriculture . The post is aligned with research on the plant and soil microbiome , microbial ecology , and broader environmental science questions. This opportunity appears to be based at Aarhus University (Department of Environmental Science / related research environment). It is a research-focused postdoctoral opening rather than a s...

Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Uppsala is advertising an open PhD position in microbial ecology and antimicrobial resistance. The project, ECOPHARM , focuses on plasmid-dependent phages and their potential role in controlling the spread of antibiotic resistance genes via conjugative plasmids. The successful candidate will investigate these viruses in aquatic ecosystems , including lake Erken and wastewater treatment plants. The research combines metagenomics , bioinformatic...
