The Microbial and Ecosystem Ecology Unit
(https://www.oist.jp/research/research-units/mee), a new research group at the
Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (https://www.oist.jp/) in Japan,
invites applications for two postdoctoral positions, one lab manager/lab
technician position, and one field technician position.
Our unit focuses on understanding how environmental factors, such as vegetation
type, land management strategy, and climate change, affect terrestrial
microbial communities, particularly those that are symbiotically associated
with plants and play crucial roles in organic matter decomposition and nutrient
transformation in the soil. We further examine how these shifts influence
ecosystem functions such as ecosystem carbon storage and greenhouse gas
emissions, as well as levels of environmental pathogens. Our methods encompass
fieldwork, greenhouse experiments, and chemical analyses, in addition to
cutting-edge molecular analyses and bioinformatic analyses.
Please see the links below for details on each position, including job
responsibilities, qualifications, and the application submission process. To be
given full consideration, please apply by April 20!

The Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University was
established in 2011 to contribute to the development of science and technology
worldwide and to serve as a hub of innovation in Okinawa. OIST is a dynamic new
graduate university of science and technology in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan
which offers a 5-year PhD program and brings together outstanding researchers
from across the country and across disciplines to conduct cutting-edge
scientific research.
The university is located on 85 hectares of protected forestland overlooking a
beautiful shoreline and coral reefs. The campus is striking architecturally,
and the facilities are outstanding. To facilitate multidisciplinary research,
there are no academic departments. Outstanding resources and equipment are
provided and managed to encourage easy access and collaboration.
English is the official language of the University, and the university research
community is fully international, with more than 50 countries represented. OIST
is rapidly gaining recognition in the worldwide academic community as a model
for excellence in education and research, and our unwavering commitment to
scientific and technological innovation is dedicated to generating progress
that will fuel Okinawa's economic growth.
