The Department of Biology at the University of Southern Denmark invites applications for a three-year PhD scholarship in biogeochemistry and microbial ecology. The position is associated to a project investigating the dynamics of nitrous oxide (N2O) in Danish coastal waters.
Marine systems are an important source of atmospheric N2O with particularly high emissions of this strong greenhouse gas indicated from oxygen-depleted waters. Yet, the mechanisms and dynamics underlying these emissions are poorly understood. With the aim of delivering the first estimate of Danish marine N2O emissions and establishing a framework for predicting how emissions respond to environmental change, the project will analyze distributions of N2O, elucidate N2O production processes, and identify the key microbes involved in coastal waters subject to seasonal oxygen depletion.
Main research objectives of this position include experimental quantification of N2O production and consumption using 15N stable isotope tracing and mass spectrometry, as well as identification of key microbes involved through biomolecular analyses. Hence, we seek a candidate with a background in biology, biogeochemistry, microbial ecology, or related fields, with experience in the analysis of environmental samples and with an aptitude for field work. The selected candidate will work closely together with the project team as well as other colleagues at the Department of Biology, and will have the opportunity to visit project partners at the universities of Gothenburg, Sweden, and Montana State, USA.
The deadline to apply is 15 April 2022 with an anticipated but flexible start date 1 June 2022.
For questions or other inquiries, please contact Professor 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.
Incomplete applications and applications received after the deadline will neither be considered nor evaluated. This also applies to reference letters.
