The Section of Microbiology at the Department of Biology, Faculty of Science at University of Copenhagen (UCPH) is seeking to hire an enthusiastic and talented postdoc to study microbial interactions in the plant microbiome, for a 2-year period, commencing 1 January 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter.
The scientific environment
The postdoc will be part of the Section of Microbiology, headed by Prof. Søren Sørensen. His research group focuses on social interactions in microbial populations in in-vivo systems such as soils, plants, animals and humans. The section houses state of the art culture-independent experimental infrastructure that enables us to examine how microbes interact at a scale that is relevant for such small organisms and study the roles of the individual species in these interactions. To do so we use techniques such as high throughput sequencing, flow cytometry, ultra-high resolution bioimaging, confocal microscopy and microbial reporter systems.

The project description
Novel strategies for eco-friendly and sustainable food production seek to explore and exploit the potential of the plant-microbiome to promote growth, acquire nutrients and induce resistance against pests and pathogens. Yet, we lack a fundamental understanding of the ecological factors controlling the establishment of a beneficial plant-microbiome. Hence, we seek to test the ecological and evolutionary role of microbe-microbe interaction in the assembly and maturation of complex plant root microbiomes. This project investigates the role of microbial interactions as key drivers for microbiome composition and activity, specifically focusing on interspecies cooperation/competition and the resulting priority effects. We work with the overarching hypothesis that microbial communities are composed of collaboromes, rather than independent species, that are characterized by being microscale focal points of interdependent bacteria showing essential microbe-microbe interactions. The emergent properties of these collaboromes present many beneficial consequences for plant growth and health. The experimental design of this project focusses on co-occurrence network analysis on microscale samples, which is complemented with detailed co-localization analyses to identify putative interactions, which are experimentally validated in simple microcosm experiments.
The candidate will be supervised by Prof. Søren Sørensen ([email protected]).
Job description
Your key tasks as a Postdoc at SCIENCE are:
Assessment criteria
We are seeking a highly motivated and ambitious individual who is curious to understand how interactions in microbiological systems work. Highly desired candidates will have a solid theoretical background of microbial ecology or plant-microbiome interactions, as well as practical expertise in microbiology, molecular biology and -omics technologies.
Educational qualifications:
Ph.D. in Microbiology, Microbial Ecology, Plant Pathology, Theoretical Ecology, or a related biological sciences field is required (applicants expecting to obtain their PhD degree by the position start date will also be taken into consideration).
Required qualifications:
Nice-to-have qualifications
Experience with plants experiments, including cultivation, maintenance and site-specific sampling of microbial communities in the rhizosphere; rhizoplane and endosphere.
Experience with any or all of the following methodology: FISH detection in combination with CLSM microscope imaging and/or FACS analyses, preparation of sequencing libraries (Illumina, PacBio), analysis of metagenomic and meta-transcriptomic sequencing data.
Terms of employment
The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff.
Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Taxation and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State.
