[ES_JOBS_NET] 4-year PhD Position in Rhizosphere Biogeochemistry of Coastal Wetlands (Keiluweit Lab, Lausanne, Switzerland)

[Marco Keiluweit]

PhD position (4-year project) in Rhizosphere Biogeochemistry of Coastal Wetlands<https://career5.successfactors.eu/career?career_ns=job_listing&company=universitdP&navBarLevel=JOB_SEARCH&rcm_site_locale=en_US&career_job_req_id=21315&selected_lang=en_US&jobAlertController_jobAlertId=&jobAlertController_jobAlertName=&browserTimeZone=Europe/Zurich&_s.crb=MpC5BIACm2FZE3si35SfuF1Yq/G+GPUYMMFRG7MYtUs=>: The successful candidate will perform research on rhizophere biogeochemistry within salt marsh soils threatened by sea level rise. Specifically, this project aims to determine how oscillatory drivers (tidal oscillations and diel cycles) influence carbon processing and storage in the rhizosphere of salt marsh wetlands. A particular focus is the investigation of mineral and redox constraints on microbial carbon metabolism in the rhizosphere. This work will include growth chamber- and field-based experiments. The candidate will learn cutting-edge chemical and biological analyses, including microsensor, metabolomics, and spectroscopic approaches. Results from this project will advance our understanding of carbon storage within coastal march ecosystems and inform predictions of the vulnerability of this vast carbon reservoir to sea level rise. This project is part of a highly interdisciplinary Simons Foundation-funded research consortium exploring the hydro-biogeochemical functioning of coastal marsh ecosystems (“Ecosystem on the Edge: How Coastal Marsh Plants and Microbes Thrive in an Oscillating Environment”). The candidate will directly collaborate with international exports in hydrology, plant science, ecology, and microbiology within this research consortium. The successful candidate is expected to work collaboratively within this research consortium as well as a postdoctoral researcher in the Soil Biogeochemistry group at UNIL.
