Postdoctoral Researcher in Environmental Geochemistry at University of Freiburg Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg in Germany

The Applied Geochemistry group at the Institute of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Freiburg (Germany) is recruiting a 3-year PhD position on sulfur cycling in wetlands and its coupling to iron and carbon cycling. The project focuses on sulfur redox transformations in oxygen-limited wetland environments such as peatlands and the Wadden Sea, where sulfate can be converted to sulfide and interact with iron minerals. The research combines experimental work, analytical method developm...

Carleton University in Canada is advertising two fully funded graduate opportunities in Environmental Microbiology and Biogeochemistry for a research project on the biodegradation of microplastics in wetlands . The project begins in fall 2026 and includes collaboration with McGill University and Environment and Climate Change Canada . One position is a PhD project supervised by Dr. Allyson Brady , focusing on natural microbial communities that can decompose microplastics, lipid biomarkers, and r...

Two four-year PhD positions are available at MARUM, University of Bremen in a project at the interface of organic geochemistry , isotope geochemistry , and palaeobiology . The ERC project, Deconvolving the early record of eukaryotic evolution , examines how life and environments coevolved during the Neoproterozoic and early Palaeozoic , and how eukaryotes evolved from the earliest protists to the rise of animals. One PhD project will investigate major carbon isotope excursions using biomarker an...
