Microbiologist Wanted for Arctic Sediment Study

4 days ago


Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Past Global Changes Full time

The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join their research group studying past climate and ecosystem changes in the marine Arctic. We are looking for a highly motivated individual with a strong background in microbiology and experience in molecular genetic lab work, taxonomic and functional microbial diversity, and bioinformatic and statistical analyses.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on understanding the impacts of past climate oscillations on microbial diversity and composition, as well as the influence of the living microbial community on the preservation potential of marine sedimentary ancient DNA. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research using state-of-the-art techniques such as metagenomic shotgun/transcriptome sequencing.

To be successful in this role, you hold a PhD degree in Biology, Microbiology, Geosciences, Environmental Sciences or related disciplines and have documented experience in processing and analysing high-throughput sequencing data. Proficiency in English is required, and organization and communication skills are important.

The department values cross-disciplinary and cross-institution collaborations, as well as team-level outreach activities. As a postdoctoral researcher, you will have the opportunity to develop your skills and expertise while contributing to the advancement of scientific knowledge in the field.
