We are seeking a postdoc to study plant-mycorrhizal-bacterial interactions in the Environmental Isotope Systems group at Lawrence Livermore National Lab. Research will involve stable isotope probing ‘omics and novel imaging technologies (NanoSIMS and in-development microscopes). Desired candidates will have previous experience studying soil microbial ecology or plant-microbial ecology; experience working with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi is highly desired. https://us.smrtr.io/gp

A 3-year postdoctoral position in soil microbial interactions is available within the Environmental Microbial Genomics Group (http://www.genomenviron.org) at École Centrale de Lyon, University of Lyon, France. This position, funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR), aims to determine the importance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi interactions in the nitrogen cycle for mitigating nitrous oxide emissions from agroecosystems.

Nine PhD studentships are available and funded through the European Union’s Horizon 2020 MSCA-International Training Network 'ARISTO' (The European Industry - Academia Network for Revising and Advancing the Assessment of the Soil Microbial Toxicity of Pesticides).

We are seeking a highly motivated bioinformatician who will develop computing solutions in support of microbial ecology and evolution research programs and the operation of Bigelow Laboratory’s Single Cell Genomics Center (SCGC). The SCGC is a global leader in microbial single cell genomics technology development and has been serving as an engine for discoveries in microbial ecology, evolution, bioprospecting, and human health since 2009. Bigelow Laboratory is located in scenic, coastal Maine with abundant opportunities for outdoor and cultural activities.

The Department of Plant Pathology and Ecology at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station is seeking applications for a Postdoctoral Scientist.

A 30 month Postdoctoral Research Fellow (PDRF) position is available on a NERC / NRF funded project in the department of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Stirling, UK. We are seeking a highly motivated PDRF specialising in environmental and molecular microbiology and the colonisation dynamics of pathogens in biofilms attaching to microplastics. The successful candidate will be based in Stirling and become part of the wider interdisciplinary team involved with the £1.4 million project “Sources, Impacts and Solutions for Plastics in South East Asia Coastal Environments”. The project involves a multidisciplinary team of experts from the UK (University of Stirling, Heriot-Watt University, National Oceanography Centre) and from Singapore (Nanyang Technological University), supported by Co-Is in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, together with Project partners in Belgium and USA, government bodies in Singapore and regional stakeholder coordinating bodies.

Tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Marine Microbial Ecology available at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, Texas, USA

2 PhD posts on new microbial and ecosystem research in the Amazon basin are open.

We are seeking a Project Scientist to assess N cycling and acquisition as a function of plant driven shifts in nutrient allocations and plant-microbe interactions in the grass rhizosphere. This five-year project aims to better understand the dynamics of N cycling and uptake and especially how plant functional traits, including exudate chemistry, can enable structuring of rhizosphere communities that increase nitrogen use-efficiency in organic and low fertility systems.
