Doctoral Researcher in Soil Biogeochemistry
2 days ago
We are living in a plastic age. Since the 1950s, humans have created more than 8 billion tons of plastic (nowadays 200-300 million tons per year). In agriculture, plastics are used to improve crop protection and plant performance. However, these plastics, due to degradation, provide micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) to the soil. MNPs are recently recognized as a potential threat to living organisms, biodiversity, and agricultural ecosystem functioning, leading to planned restrictions by the European Commission.
At Luke, we are part of a multidisciplinary project studying the effect of microplastics on plant and soil health. Our team consists of experts from various fields, including biogeochemistry, microbiology, and plant biochemistry. We are seeking a PhD researcher to join our team and contribute to this project.
Responsibilities:
- Design and execute experiments
- Collect and analyze data
- Contribute to the preparation of scientific publications
- Collaborate with the team
Requirements:
- MSc degree in plant physiology, chemistry, biochemistry, soil science, biology, or similar
- In-depth knowledge about soil biochemical cycles and especially cycles of carbon and nutrients
- Hands-on experience with work in a lab, especially with spectrophotometry
- Experience in measurements of enzymes and markers of plant biotic and abiotic stress
- Knowledge about traditional plastics and bioplastics would be beneficial
