Postdoctoral position(Permafrost - plant - microbiological changes) at University of Copenhagen

University of Copenhagen

POSITION: Postdoctoral position in Permafrost - plant - microbiological changes and interactions in Greenland

A new Center for Permafrost (CENPERM) at University of Copenhagen is recruiting a postdoctoral associate to work in the field of carbon and nitrogen stocks and turnover in permafrost-affected areas in Greenland. The position is financed and part of the upcoming CENPERM financed by the Danish National Research Foundation. CENPERM will integrate multidisciplinary research of biogeochemical and physical processes in a "climate-vegetation-soil-microorganism-permafrost" approach in transects across the major climate zones of Greenland. The ambition is that new insights in permafrost dynamics will improve the quantification and predictions of changes in carbon and nitrogen pools and greenhouse gas fluxes from Arctic ecosystems.

 This post doctoral position is part of Theme 1 and 3 focussing on interacting processes between microorganisms, plants and soils within soil profiles in contrasting landscape and vegetation types. Investigations include mapping geomorphological changes, permafrost drilling in several vegetation/landscape types at five sites and integrating biologically mediated gas fluxes linked to predicted climate change in Greenland along the most critical and informative gradients. Part of the work will be related to the use of existing long-term ecosystem field manipulations of soil temperature, radiation, snow depth and water availability at Zackenberg and Nuuk in order to understand key processes controlling permafrost formation and decay, supplemented with new experimental plots at selected CENPERM sites.

 The successful candidate in this position will be expected to work independently and take leadership in undertaking field work in the Arctic, co-supervising of PhD-students and take the lead in database management.

 The place of work will be in Copenhagen but the candidate has to do field work in the Arctic about one month each year.

 The position is open from February 1, 2012 or as soon as possible thereafter and funded for 30 months with a possibility of extension.

 QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE POST DOC POSITION

Candidates should preferably have a Ph.D. in Earth or Biological Sciences with a strong background in environmental soil-plant biogeochemistry and documented research in soil-plant interaction, preferable linked to greenhouse gas production/transport, and experience in undertaking fieldwork in the Arctic.

TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT

The position will be filled according to the Agreement between the Danish Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The post is covered by the Protocol on Job Structure.

 QUESTIONS

For more information, please contact Bo Elberling, Professor and Director of Center for Permafrost (CENPERM), Department of Geography and Geology, University of Copenhagen, e-mail: be@geo.ku.dk. Or Anders Michelsen, associate professor, Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen, e-mail: andersm@bio.ku.dk   

 APPLICATION FOR THE POST DOC POSITION

Applications must be received no later than January 27, 2012. Applications received after the closing date will not be considered.

Each application must include the following appendices marked with the stated appendix numbers:

Appendix 1: Curriculum vitae with documentation of education;

Appendix 2: A complete list of publications;

Appendix 3: At most ten relevant scientific works to be included in the assessment;

Appendix 4: A memorandum stating the applicant´s most important scientific work relevant to the position and the applicant´s contribution to such work (max 2 A4 pages);

Appendix 5: Documentation for additional research qualifications;

Appendix 6: A draft research proposal, (max 3 pages) for the position, which is not binding for the applicant or University of Copenhagen, but can demonstrate innovative skills

Appendix 7: If possible, documentation for qualifications in relation to teaching/education:

•           Pedagogical training/education.

•           Participation in the development of teaching programmes, courses and/or seminars.

•           Development of teaching material.

•           Counselling and supervision of students at BSc, MSc and PhD levels.

•           Experience with student examination and/or evaluation.

Vacant PhD fellowship at Copenhagen Center for Glycomics

A fully funded PhD fellowship is available from February 2012 at the Copenhagen Center for Glycomics (CCG), Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen.

 CCG was established at the Faculty of Health Sciences early in 2008 funded by a Center of Excellence grant from The University of Copenhagen, and will from 2012 continue as a Danish National Research Foundation Center of Excellence. CCG comprises collaborating groups in glycogenetics, glycoenzymology, structural glycoanalytics, glycoarray technologies, glycoimmunology, and glycomedicine. Currently, CCG consists of one professor, five associate professors, four post docs, and eight PhD students. CCG has a common focus on exploring the diverse biology of complex carbohydrates, with an overarching aim of identifying diseases caused by defects in glycosylation and deciphering underlying molecular mechanisms. The program uses a genetic approach (NGS Exome sequencing) to identify functional mutations in glycogenes, and Zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) gene targeting to develop isogenic cell line models for diseases.

 PROFILE OF APPLICANTS:

We seek one or more PhD fellowship students for the following research areas:

ZFN gene targeting in human cell lines (and rodents)

Glycoproteomics using mass spectrometry (nano-LC/ESI-MS/MS approaches)

 The candidate must hold a relevant Masters degree (or equivalent). Applicants with strong interests in gene targeting, NGS, and mass spectrometry, and with relevant experimental experience, will be preferred. It is a prerequisite that the applicant and project are approved by the PhD committee of the Faculty.

 The fellowship is to start February 1st, 2012, or soon thereafter.

 TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT:

The successful PhD candidate will be offered a full-time PhD position for a period of three years, contingent on a satisfactory performance, with the specific intent that it results in a PhD degree and scientific publications. It is a prerequisite for the appointment as a PhD-fellow, that the person concerned can be registered as a PhD fellow according to the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation Executive Order no 18 of 14.
