We are looking for a postdoc to join our team. The position is for 5 years and comes with 4 credits of teaching per semester. The teaching would be in ecology and could also be delivered in English, for example in advanced BSc courses or in the MSc Biodiversity.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in ecology, microbiology or related field. The area of research is relatively open; however, the postdoc should reinforce one of the current research themes in our lab. This includes work on mycorrhizal ecology (AM fungi), microbial community coalescence, global change (see ERC Advanced Grant), soil biodiversity and soil aggregation. The candidate can use theoretical/ modeling or experimental approaches, and preference will be given to candidates who can bridge between experimental and theoretical/ modeling work. Excellent command of English is desirable, as is advanced knowledge of statistics (using the R environment), and a general background in community ecology, soil ecology or related field. Please send applications by 27.03.2017 preferably as one pdf per email to Prof. Dr. Matthias Rillig: [email protected] quoting “21223700/05/17”, the position code, in the header of the email.
