We seek a highly motivated candidate with an academic background and documented experience in molecular microbial ecology research. In particular the preferred candidate holds a strong expertise in microbial metagenomics and bioinformatics. The candidate should drive a research project, funded by the Danish Independent Research Fund, aiming at characterizing ecological and evolutionary dynamics that govern microbial community composition in marine sediments. The project will address key aspects of microbial community assembly including genome evolution. The successful candidate will be employed by the Department of Bioscience at Aarhus University (http://bios.au.dk/en) and work at the Section for Microbiology at this department. The section hosts the associated Center for Electromicrobiology (CEM) and Center for Water Technology (WATEC) and employs 9 associate professors and professors and 4 assistant professors. Research at the section covers studies of microbial physiology, evolution, ecology, and biogeochemistry. It integrates basic and applied research addressing the ecophysiology and evolution of microorganisms in natural and biotechnological systems (www.bios.au.dk/microbiology).
