Postdoc Position in Microbial Ecology - Community Assembly and Interactions in Digester Microbiomes

Mission

The Microbial Physiology and Resource Biorecovery Laboratory (MICROBE), led by Dr. Wenyu Gu at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), invites applications for a fully funded Postdoctoral Researcher position in Microbial Ecology.

We are seeking a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Institute of Environmental Engineering. The successful candidate will conduct cutting-edge research in applied and environmental microbiology, with a particular focus on microbial community assembly and interaction principles using anaerobic digestion communities as a model system.

Main duties and responsibilities

Anaerobic digestion communities are among the best-characterized and most ecologically important microbial ecosystems. Composed of diverse bacteria and archaea that cooperate through metabolic interactions, these communities drive the degradation of o...
