We are offering a fixed-term, part-time position (65% FTE) in the research groups Functional Plant Ecology (Prof. Peter Müller) and Functional Aquatic Ecotoxicology (Prof. Mirco Bundschuh) at the Institute for Environmental Sciences (iES) in Landau. The position is available for 36 months, starting on 1 December 2026 - subject to final approval of third-party funding.

The project will investigate how microbial processes regulate the stability and fate of carbon stocks in high-latitude coastal wetland sediments in response to climate change and pollution. By integrating molecular microbial ecology, biogeochemistry, and ecotoxicological approaches, the project will advance our understanding of the mechanisms controlling long-term carbon preservation and potential climate feedbacks in these vulnerable ecosystems.

The position is part of the international JPI Oceans C-SCALE research project, providing an excellent opportunity to work within a collaborative international team and to interact with leading research groups in Norway, Canada, and Poland.

Your area of responsibility:

The position primarily involves research activities and provides the opportunity to pursue an academic qualification, in particular the completion of a doctoral dissertation.

We are seeking a highly motivated candidate with a strong interest in molecular biology, ecotoxicology and biogeochemistry and documented expertise in at least one of these fields. The successful applicant will work in an interdisciplinary research environment and will be responsible for a range of laboratory, field, and analytical tasks, including:
