The Research Unit Forest Soils and Biogeochemistry examines how biogeochemical cycles and microbial processes are driven by environmental change. As part of an SNF research project, the Research Group Rhizosphere Processes is offering a PhD Position in Molecular Microbial.
You will gain a better understanding of the impact of mechanical disturbance during timber harvesting on the diversity and functioning of the soil microbiome. You will use cutting-edge biochemical and molecular genetic methods to study diversity and metabolic potential of the soil microbiome under different scenarios of mechanical disturbance. You will contribute to group activities, work in an interdisciplinary team, publish research findings in internationally
peer-reviewed journals and participate in national and international workshops and conferences.
