  9. CW: Post-doctoral researcher in soil microbial ecology at the University of Girona

    The Post-doc will join the local and international team of the project “Microbial
    biodiversity and Carbon Use Efficiency as Nature-based solution (NBS) for soil carbon
    stabilization (BIOCUE)”. BIOCUE investigates how NBS affect soil carbon balance by
    studying their impact on microbial diversity, function, and Carbon Use Efficiency (CUE)
    (biodiversa.eu/2025/04/08/50695/). The successful candidate will contribute
    to the experimental work, data analysis, preparing manuscripts, and publishing them in scientific journals, presenting the research outputs at local and international conferences and engaging with stakeholders. The post-doc will also collaborate to analysis and publication of experimental data from a previous Biodiversa+ project from the same team
    (GradCatch, www1.bio.ku.dk/gradcatch/ ).
    Post-doc starting 01.03.2026 for a period of 2 years (starting can be delayed some
    months if required by the selected candidate).

    - Requirements: PhD in biology or environmental sciences, with a strong background in ecology and microbiology.
    - Solid knowledge of data analysis and excellent writing skills.
    - A collaborative mindset.

    To apply for this position, you will need to submit your CV including names and contact of two referees. The call will appear and be open from 19 to 31st of January 2026 in this link: udg.edu/en/coneix/treballa-a-l

    UdG is committed to diversity and inclusion as core values. We actively promote
    gender equality and foster an open, inclusive work environment

  19. Most interestingly, the #microbialCommunities structure themselves to granules with inner anoxic regions - here the #photosynthesis can use H2S instead of H2O as electron acceptor - which is driven by an anoxic #sulfurCycle supported by the other anaerobic bacteria which produce the H2S to keep their place oxygen free.

  20. 🎉 New pipeline day 🎉

    🦠 A big question for #metagenomics #MicrobialEcology or #microbiome researchers is: which tool and database to use for taxonomic classification?

    🤔 For both often the answer changes on a case-by-case basis, but we can help people make their databases.

    🚀 The open-source nf-core/createtaxdb pipeline (nf-co.re/createtaxdb) automates building of custom databases for 9 classification tools - all in parallel!

    🗪 Interested? DM me or join the nf-core slack!
