Postdoctoral Position in Coastal Nitrogen Cycling at University of Southern Denmark 2011, Denmark

/ March 8, 2011 Leave a Comment

We invite applications for a postdoctoral position to explore the nitrogen cycle in coastal waters with particular focus on the use of stable nitrogen isotopes to trace processes and establish budgets.The candidate will be integrated in the research group in microbial ecology lead by Professor
Bo Thamdrup and associated with the Nordic Center for Earth Evolution (NordCEE) at the Institute of Biology. Research in these units focuses broadly on the role of microbes in the biogeochemistry of aquatic systems, and on the evolution of microbes and environments during Earth’s history.

The candidate should have a strong background in either biogeochemistry or microbial ecology with a completed PhD by the project start date, and preferably with experience in working with stable isotopes. The application materials should include a copy of full transcripts, including grades, a statement of research interests and background, as well as two letters of recommendation.The successful applicant will be employed in accordance with the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and AC (the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations).
The application must include the following:
• A curriculum vitae including information on previous employment and teaching experience.
• A full list of publications stating the scientific publication on which the applicant wishes to rely.
• A copy of full transcripts, including grades
• A statement of research interests and background
• Two letters of recommendation
• A list of all enclosures
The University encourages all interested persons to apply, regardless of age, gender, religious affiliation, or ethnic background.

In particular, this includes the Center of Excellence in Cognitive Interaction Technology, CITEC. The EU-project (www.emicab.eu) as a whole is formed by the Biomechatronics lab and the Neuroethology lab of Bielefeld University (coordinator), a Systems Engineering lab at the University of Catania, Italy, a Sensor Technology lab at the University of Southern Denmark in Sønderborg, and a Neurogenetics lab at the University of Mainz, Germany.
The position is in the area of Neuroethology/Biomechanics. The successful candidate should hold a master or diploma degree, preferably in biology or neuroscience. Advanced experimental and theoretical skills in Neurobiology (sensorimotor systems) and/or Biomechanics (whole-body kinematics, force measurements) are advantageous as well as sound experience in the analysis of multi-dimensional data. Candidates with a background in a related area within the computer sciences (e.g. bio-inspired robotics) are also encouraged to apply. Participation in administrative and organizational tasks of the EU-project is also expected. The position is suited to conduct a PhD-project.

Bielefeld University is an equal opportunity employer and therefore especially encourages women to apply. In the case of comparable competences and qualification, women will preferably be considered if there are no dominating reasons arising from the person of another applicant.
