Postdoctoral Research Associate in Plant-Soil Interactions and Coastal Biogeochemistry Oak Ridge National Laboratory in United States

Fully funded PhD position at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Dr. Zac Freedman’s Lab, Department of Soil and Environmental Sciences. The project focuses on plant-soil-microbe interactions for sustainable cannabis production, with strong relevance to Agriculture, Biology, Environmental Science, Earth Science, Chemistry, and Statistics. Applicants should have a degree in Soil Science, Ecology, Biogeochemistry, Microbiology, or a related field. Preferred experience includes soil microbial com...

Two funded Ph.D. positions are open at Boston University in the Templer Lab and Bhatnagar Lab (Microbes@BU) as part of an NSF-funded study within the long-running Hubbard Brook Nitrogen Oligotrophication (HBNO) project. The research sits at the intersection of forest ecology , biogeochemistry , plant-microbe interactions , soil science , and microbiology . The project asks whether shifts in plant carbon allocation help offset declining nitrogen and phosphorus availability in northern hardwood fo...

PhD position available at the University of Georgia through the Odum School of Ecology and the Fundamental and Applied Biogeochemistry Lab . The project focuses on environmental contamination and remediation research, with collaborations involving the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory and the Savannah River National Laboratory . Research themes include above-ground biomarkers of below-ground contaminant distributions and flows , environmental remediation using data science and artificial intelli...

MS/PhD opening at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF) in Syracuse, USA. The Ninokawa and Goff Labs (Dr. Aaron Ninokawa and Dr. Jennifer Goff) are seeking a student to study how invasive quagga mussels influence lake trout survival in the Great Lakes. The project combines field and lab experiments with a strong emphasis on aquatic biogeochemistry and microbial ecology. Ideal applicants have a background in ecology, environmental science, chemi...

KU Leuven is offering a PhD position in rhizosphere biogeochemistry within the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Soil and Water Management Division, in the SPIRAL lab. The project focuses on how soil formation , root exudation , and free-living nitrogen fixers interact in the rhizosphere. A key research question is how plant-released carbohydrates and carboxylates influence microbial nitrogen fixation and the mobilization of molybdenum (Mo) , an essential cofactor for nitrogenase. ...
