<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">We
announce a full PostDoc position
in Soil Science at the Technische Universität München (Lehrstuhl
für
Bodenkunde, <a href="http://www.soil-science.com" target="_blank">www.soil-science.com</a>). The earliest starting date is
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>

<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">The
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
sciences.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
