looking for a highly motivated scientist, who
wants to establish his or her own field of
research in the field of geomicrobiology with
a focus on <strong>metabolic physiology</strong>

microorganisms in aquatic or terrestrial
habitats. An alternative orientation is the
field of <strong>systems biology</strong>
(‘multi omics’, integrative omics), with
emphasis on the application of different
high-throughput methods, in order to
investigate and understand the interaction of
microorganisms in biogeochemically relevant
communities. Acquisition of third-party funds
