The Department of Biology at the University of Southern Denmark invites applications for a 3-year Ph.D. study in biogeochemistry and microbial ecology. The position is associated to a project investigating how anaerobic methane oxidation attenuates methane emissions from freshwater systems. While freshwater systems are an important source of atmospheric methane, anaerobic methane-oxidizing microbes were recently found to act as a barrier to the release of this strong greenhouse gas in some systems. Yet, the identity of these microbes and their distribution and activity across different freshwater environments is poorly understood. Filling this knowledge gap is relevant to predictions of how freshwater methane emissions respond to environmental change and to the mitigation of emissions from anthropogenically influenced systems.
The main research objective for this position is the determination of the distribution, rates, and environmental controls of anaerobic methane oxidation in a wide range of freshwater sediments. Approaches include experimental quantification of anaerobic methane oxidation using stable isotope tracing and mass spectrometry, as well as identification of key microbes through biomolecular analyses. Hence, we seek a candidate with a background in microbial or molecular biology, (bio-)geochemistry, or related fields, and with an aptitude for field work. The selected candidate will be part of the diverse and international Nordcee group at SDU and will have the opportunity to interact with project associates at Aarhus University.
