Postdoctoral Research Associate in Microbial Ecology and AI for Soil Restoration at University of Exeter University of Exeter in United Kingdom

Earlham Institute in the UK is advertising 9 PhD studentships for an October 2027 start. The advertised research themes include plant gene regulation , genome language models , and fisheries pangenomics , making this a strong opportunity for students interested in the intersection of AI, biology, genomics, and computational life sciences . This is a PhD-level opening rather than a postdoctoral or master's call. The post does not provide detailed eligibility criteria, but the topics suggest a fit...

RIKEN’s Research Institute for Earth and Planetary Life Sciences (Suzuki Laboratory) is recruiting a researcher/postdoctoral equivalent for a project in genome biology , microbial evolution , and bioinformatics . The lab studies unknown microorganisms in the subsurface biosphere , combining fieldwork, microbial culture, physiological analysis, and omics approaches to understand microbial ecology, metabolic functions, early evolution of life, astrobiology, and extremophile genes. The advertised p...

Funded TREES CASE PhD opportunity at Queen Mary University of London in partnership with the Bumblebee Conservation Trust . The project, “Reconstructing historical bumblebee foraging networks with AI to guide landscape restoration,” asks whether Victorian naturalists can help us restore better landscapes for bumblebees today. It will use historical field notes, county faunas, and natural-history accounts to recover records of flowers visited by bumblebees when their populations were more widespr...

2-year postdoctoral position at the University of Copenhagen , Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, in the area of modeling of microbial soil carbon cycling . The project is a genome-informed microbial biogeochemical modeling postdoc focused on quantifying microbial traits from metagenomes and using them to develop a microbial-explicit version of the dynamic vegetation model LPJ-GUESS . You will join the Center of Excellence VOLT (Center for Volatile interactions), working with microbial e...
