Postdoctoral Researcher in VOC Exchange and Biogenic Volatiles in Terrestrial Ecosystems University of Copenhagen in Denmark

Aarhus University is advertising a 3-year postdoctoral position in Soil Ecotoxicology within the Department of Ecoscience at the Faculty of Technical Sciences , based in Aarhus, Denmark. The project focuses on the fate and effects of contaminants in soil ecosystems , with research on adsorption/desorption, mobility, leaching, trophic transfer, and ecological impacts of emerging and conventional contaminants such as PFAS , microplastics , metals, biochar, digestate, and sewage sludge. The role in...

PhD opportunity in ecology and biogeochemistry focused on the littoral zones of eastern Québec lakes . The project is based at the Université du Québec à Rimouski with Morgan Botrel , Professeure en biogéochimie aquatique. The successful candidate will lead three field seasons in lakes across Bas-Saint-Laurent, Gaspésie, and Anticosti , with a research theme centered on surveying submerged aquatic vegetation . The candidate will also have room to develop their own research questions within the b...

PhD fellowship in forest soil biogeochemistry , greenhouse gas fluxes , and environmental science at the University of Copenhagen , Section of Forest & Landscape Ecology, Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management (IGN). The project is part of “Predicting the climate change mitigation potential of new forest landscapes in Denmark” , funded by Independent Research Fund Denmark . It focuses on how tree species, soil types, and forest management affect soil emissions and uptake of N2...

PhD opportunity at Aarhus University in Arctic microbial ecology , focused on supraglacial habitats on the Greenland Ice Sheet. The project, Top-down controls of microbial biomass in supraglacial habitats , investigates how viruses, grazers, and parasitic fungi regulate microbial communities on glacier surfaces. The research centers on algae and cyanobacteria that contribute to ice-darkening and melt, with specific attention to protozoan grazing, chytrid fungal infections, and microbial mortalit...
