Postdoctoral Scholar - Microbial Modeling, UC Berkeley, USA
The University of California Berkeley, Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management, seeks applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Brodie Lab.
As part of an exciting National Science Foundation (NSF) supported multi-institution project studying the thermodynamic rules of the assembly of microbial communities in soils and human microbiomes, we are hiring a postdoctoral researcher in the area of trait-and-individual-based microbial modeling. You will focus on developing a trait-based representation of the thermodynamic regulation of the interactions between bacteria under varying substrate and chemical conditions, cultured within microfluidic systems. Deadline: Aug 31, 2022. See link for details.

W2 Professorship, University of Bonn, Germany
The new professorship should strengthen the DFG Cluster of Excellence PhenoRob (www.phenorob.de) by developing mathematical methods for the coupling between soil processes, automatic soil monitoring on different scales and soil functions, and contribute to the research topic digital bioeconomy at the Institute of Bio- and Geosciences, IBG-3 Agrosphere. Experience in at least one of the following research areas is desired:
Modeling of soil processes at different spatial and temporal scales;
Analysis of multidimensional multi-parameter datasets of soil structures and soil states;
Development of mathematical approaches, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, that couple soil structures, soil processes, and soil function at different scales.

Postdoctoral Researcher, Ohio State University, USA
We are recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join us at Ohio State University in the School of Environment and Natural Resources. The focus of the 2-year position will be on establishing the efficiency and effectiveness of cascading waterways as an agricultural best management practice targeted at the reduction of nutrients and sediments leaving farms.
The position will be based at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center located in Wooster, Ohio. Ideal candidates would have experience (1) instrumenting field sites to monitor water flow; (2) sampling runoff for chemical analysis; and (3) analyzing data using statistical techniques. Applicants should have (or are soon to receive) a PhD in a relevant field including Agricultural Engineering, Environmental Science, or Hydrology and Water Resources. Envisioned start date is between September 2022 and January 2023. Please apply by sending a research statement and CV to Steve Lyon (lyon.248@osu.edu). Deadline September 17 2022.
