Postdoctoral Position in Rock Weathering Experiments with Microbial Ecosystems under Archean Conditions Université Côte d’Azur in France

This postdoctoral position at Université Côte d'Azur is part of a project on how microbial ecosystems can alter rocks under conditions reminiscent of the early Earth. The work is centered on geomicrobiology, with a strong interface between microbial ecology, geochemistry, and astrobiology. The project builds on an existing experimental platform developed at the CEREEP ECOTRON Île-de-France , where rock-weathering reactors reproduce Archean-like conditions. These experiments compare sterile react...

Postdoctoral position in geomicrobiology at Université Côte d’Azur / CEREEP ECOTRON Île-de-France This postdoctoral project explores a fundamental question about the early Earth: did life shape the surface of the planet, and how did microorganisms influence rock weathering under Archean-like conditions? The work is embedded in the Pandora project and builds on an experimental set-up already designed and constructed by a PhD student. The platform reproduces rock weathering in an anoxic environmen...

PhD opportunity at The Open University in a project titled Life on the Rocks: Mineral Precipitation and its Role in Habitability . This project sits at the intersection of Earth Science , Biology , Chemistry , and Astronomy , with a strong focus on geochemistry and astrobiology . The research uses novel samples collected from the Earth's seafloor to study how mineral precipitation shapes habitable environments and what these processes may reveal about the possibility of life beyond Earth, includ...
