We seek a *post*-doctoral student or a young researcher for a CNRS research associate *position* for 6 months, (extension to one year possible) to participate in an ESF EuroDiversity- CNRS funded project. (the applicant should not have the French nationality) .
Methane oxidizing bacteria (MOB) and their functioning in a well defined set of environmental conditions and habitats will be used as a model system to understand basic questions in microbial ecology as well as to gain deeper insight into the function of this environmentally very important functional group. The overall aim of the ESF Metheco program is to investigate how microbial and plant and protozoan diversity influences the environmentally highly relevant process of methane oxidation and how changes in biodiversity affect this function and its resilience against environmental perturbations.
In this program, the applicant will be in charge of the small-scale approach: micro-scale spatial distribution of MOB, modification of the diversity and the bacterial spatial network during perturbations and resilience.
Suitable applicants will be experienced in microbiology, and should have excellent molecular biology and computer skills. The applicant should have publications in good journals, and be fluent enough in english to communicate with the European partners. The selected applicant will join a cooperation of 7 European research groups offering an outstanding training opportunity in various techniques applied across the whole consortium. The salary is about 2400 euros per month depending on the experience of the candidate.
Applications and informal enquiries should be sent to:
