The Department of Biology, SDU invites applications for a three-year PhD study in biogeochemistry and microbial ecology. The position is associated with a project investigating how anaerobic methane oxidation attenuates methane emissions from freshwater systems. While freshwater systems are an important source of atmospheric methane, anaerobic methane-oxidizing microbes were recently found to act as a barrier to the release of this strong greenhouse gas in some systems. Yet, the identity of these microbes and their distribution and activity across different freshwater environments is poorly understood. Filling this knowledge gap is relevant to predictions of how freshwater methane emissions respond to environmental change and to the mitigation of emissions from anthropogenically influenced systems.

The main research objective of this position is the determination of the distribution, rates, and environmental controls of anaerobic methane oxidation in a wide range of freshwater sediments. Approaches include experimental quantification of anaerobic methane oxidation using stable isotope tracing and mass spectrometry, as well as identification of key microbes through biomolecular analyses. Hence, we seek a candidate with a background in microbial or molecular biology, (bio-)geochemistry, or related fields, and with an aptitude for field work. The selected candidate will be part of the diverse and international Nordcee group at SDU and will have the opportunity to interact with project associates at Aarhus University.

For further information please contact Professor Bo Thamdrup, tel. +45 6011 2477 / [email protected].

Application, salary etc.
Appointment as a PhD Research Fellow is for three years. Employment stops automatically at the end of the period. The holder of the scholarship is not allowed to have other paid employment during the three-year period.

The successful applicant will be employed in accordance with the agreement on salaried PhD scholars between the Ministry of Finance and AC (the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations). Please check links for more information on salary and taxation.

The successful candidate will be enrolled at this university in accordance with faculty regulations and the Danish Ministerial Order on the PhD Programme at the Universities (PhD order).

The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
