Exciting Postdoc Opportunities: Unraveling Horizontal Gene Transfer and Ecosystem Impacts of Biopesticides
1 month ago
Start date: June 15, 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter.
About EMBARQ
EMBARQ's mission is to provide a knowledge base and develop innovative tools to quantify the environmental impact of biologicals, particularly biopesticides, for agriculture and sustainability. The project introduces groundbreaking methodologies in risk assessment, including:
• Tracking biologicals in the environment.
• Calibrating risks against natural fluctuations.
• Integrating AI tools for risk evaluation.
• Applying a OneHealth perspective.
We aim to expand traditional risk assessment approaches by addressing factors like horizontal gene transfer and its potential to affect pathogenicity, as well as evaluating ecosystem-level impacts of biopesticide applications.
Who Are We Looking For?
We are seeking ambitious and motivated postdoctoral researchers with the following qualifications:
• A PhD in natural sciences with expertise in soil microbial ecology, horizontal gene transfer, and metagenomics.
• Proficiency in biostatistical analyses and hands-on experience with metagenomic sequencing techniques.
• Strong English communication and writing skills, demonstrated through a solid publication record.
The ideal candidate thrives in collaborative environments, can work independently, and is eager to take on leadership roles within a team.
Our Research Environment
The Section of Microbiology at the University of Copenhagen is recognized as a world-leading research hub in microbial ecology and molecular microbiology. Our dynamic and collaborative group fosters cutting-edge scientific innovation while maintaining a strong emphasis on social integration and teamwork.
As a member, you will benefit from:
• An inspiring and highly supportive international research environment.
• Opportunities to collaborate with leading scientists across disciplines.
• Access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, including in-house PacBio, Nanopore, and Illumina sequencing platforms, and HPC resources.
• A vibrant social atmosphere, promoting teamwork and idea-sharing within a diverse group of PhD students, postdocs, and faculty.
We take pride in combining scientific excellence with a collaborative spirit, ensuring that all team members thrive both professionally and personally.
Principal Investigators:
• Center leader Professor Søren J. Sørensen (sjs@bio.ku.dk)
