Subject: PhD position - microbiome physiology and microbial interactions -
Future Arctic
Future Arctic is still looking for a PhD student. Please share! Description is
attached and as follows:
PhD student will quantify how physiological responses of microbial taxa to
warming alter C cycling in soil. iChip (isolation chip) technology will be used
to incubate microbial taxa in their natural environment. You will assess
growth, turnover, enzyme activity and nutrient scavenging using a range of
techniques including isotope labelling (e.g., qSIP or NanoSIMS) and next
generation sequencing. The goal is to elucidate in-situ metabolic capacities
and life-history traits of a range of microbial taxa and their possible change
in a future climate. Individual-based microbial community modelling will then
be used to explore interactions among microbial groups and their effect on
community response to warming, based on the data gained in the experimental
part of the project.
