    Dear All,<br>
    <br>
    please find below the advertisement of a PostDoc position at TU
    Muenchen (Germany) focusing on applications using NanoSIMS in soil
    related studies.<br>
    Please also feel free to send this to people who could be interested

        June 1<sup>st</sup>
        2013. Salary is TV-L E13 (100%) according to the German TV-L
        system
        (Tarifvertrag für den Öffentlichen Dienst der Länder). The
        position is
        full-time for three years and can be prolongated for another
        three years. This position
        gives an opportunity to develop new conceptual and
        methodological approaches
        with state of the art analytical techniques in a lab focusing on
        the fate and
        stabilization of soil organic matter. The group (Prof. Ingrid <span> </span>Kögel-Knabner) is located at
        Freising-Weihenstephan, nearby Munich in southern Bavaria. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

        formation of organo-mineral associations
        and soil aggregates but also interactions between plant and soil
        (rhizosphere)
        happen at submicron scales. However, these processes determine
        phenomena (e.g.
        C-sequestration, nutrient cycling) on much larger scales up to
        the ecosystem
        and global level. With the introduction and increasing
        utilization of modern
        (spectro-)microscopic techniques in soil science, e.g. atomic
        force microscopy
        (AFM) or nano-scale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS),
        the need for
        the development of new experimental and methodological
        approaches is growing. Within
        the advertised project we aim to develop new experimental and
        sample
        preparation methods to meet the requirements of these analytical
        techniques.
        The main experimental focus will be put on the formation of new
        biogeochemical
        interfaces with a special focus on aggregation and
        microbial-soil interactions.
        Responsibilities also include supervision of PhD students and
        teaching for
        students in agriculture, forestry, biology and environmental
