My apologies for any cross-postings.
Many thanks,
Ellen

A PhD-position in Ecology (4 years) is available in Abisko at the Climate Impacts Research Centre of the Department of Ecology and Environmental Science, Umeå University, north Sweden, to study the seasonal dynamics of plant-soil-microbe interactions in arctic ecosystems. Uptake of carbon by arctic plants is strongly limited by their access to nutrients, especially nitrogen, due to competition by microbes. Climate change can alter the interactions between plants and microbes, and can therefore alter nitrogen and carbon cycles in arctic ecosystems. In the Arctic, climate change is especially pronounced during autumn, winter and spring, but their impacts on plant-soil-microbe interactions remain unclear. We are looking for a PhD-student to investigate the seasonal dynamics of interactions for nitrogen between arctic plants and microbes, and how this changes with altered winter, spring and autumn climate.

Application Deadline: 2019-03-14
