<div dir="ltr">The newly launched PhD program Microbial Nitrogen Cycling >From Single Cells to Ecosystems invites applications for PhD positions. <br><br>10 PhD positions funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) for up to 4
years are available from January 1, 2016 in Vienna at the Departments of
Limnology and Bio-Oceanography, Microbiology and Ecosystem Sciences and
Ecogenomics and Systems Biology.<br><br>This program involves funding for 10 PhD students (in 10 different
research groups), as well as money for
networking, workshops, invitation of international speakers
(collaborators!) etc. The students are requested to spend at least 6
months in a secondary lab, if they wish to get extension for funding
beyond 3 years.<br><div class="gmail_quote"><br>The graduate student program offers a unique multidisciplinary PhD training on Microbial Nitrogen Cycling approached from the three complementary areas of Microbial Ecology, Functional Genomics and Ecosystem Research.<br><br>The program is open to students who hold a Master of Science degree (or an equivalent qualication) in Ecology, Biogeochemistry, (Environmental) Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics or related fields.<br><br>For details on this PhD program, PhD topics and application procedure see, <a href="http://www.phd-n-cycle.at/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.phd-n-cycle.at/</a><br>
