The Danish Center for HADAL Research of Nordcee, Department of Biology at University of Southern Denmark seeks applicants for a three-year PhD position. The project aims to investigate mineralization of organic matter in the sediments in the hadal realm; the deepest part of global ocean at 6,000 – 11,000 m of depth AND to explore effects of high hydrostatic pressure for microbial activity. This project is inspired by the recent discovery of hadal sediments as hotspots of microbial activity despite exposure to extreme hydrostatic pressure. The findings indicate a high potential for nitrogen-, sulphur-, and iron-related metabolisms involved in the mineralization of organic matter which to date are largely unexplored at hadal depths.
The PhD student will explore microbial metabolisms in deep sea sediments using a combination of lab- and field work, including oceanic research cruises. The student will have access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment for microbiological, biogeochemical, and high-pressure work. This includes quantification of microbial respiration using novel sensor technologies isotope tracers, microscopy, flow cytometry, meta omics, and high-pressure vessels and samplers. Experience with any of these technologies is preferred, but not necessarily required.
The ideal candidate has strong experimental and analytical skills, an aptitude for work at sea onboard research vessels, and the ability to work independently in coordination with an open and dynamic team. A background in microbiology, biogeochemistry, marine science, or a related discipline is desired. Training on all required aspects will be provided at the centre.
The PhD student will join a vibrant, diverse, and international group of scientists in the HADAL Center, experience substantial independence in the development and execution of the project and have the opportunity to collaborate with a strong network of scientists both within and outside of Denmark. The HADAL Center is embedded within the Nordcee division of the Department of Biology, which collectively employs approx. 50 researchers, administrative staff, and graduate students. The Department of Biology at the University of Southern Denmark values diverse perspectives and identities, prioritizes the professional and personal growth and well-being of student and staff members, and strives to sustainably carry out scientific research with close societal involvement.
The deadline to apply is 1 May, with an anticipated but flexible start date July 2022. For questions or other inquiries, please contact Professor Ronnie N. Glud at [email protected] or Bo Thamdrup at [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.
Application must be made in the form of a Declaration of Interest including the following:
• A research proposal/description of your approach to the above project (max one page excluding references)
• A letter stating your specific interest, motivation and qualifications for the project in question (max. two pages) (please attach this under box "Application form")
• Detailed CV, including personal contact information
• Copies of diplomas, Bachelor as well as Master’s degree, including transcript of notes/grades
• At least two signed reference letters. Should your referees wish to send their letters directly to us, please have them use e-mail: [email protected] mentioning your name and the title of the position in the subject line. And please note that these also need to reach us before deadline.
Shortlisting may be used in the assessment process.
Further information about the PhD-study can be found at the homepage of the University.
Applications must be submitted electronically using the link "Apply online". Attached files must be in Adobe PDF or Word format. Each box can only contain a single file of max. 10 Mb. We strongly recommend that you read How to apply before you apply.
