We are seeking a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Institute of Environmental Engineering at EPFL (the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne). The selected candidate will engage in cutting-edge research in applied environmental microbiology. The research will focus broadly on microbial physiology and genetics in CO2 reduction and N2 fixation processes (such as methanogen, Azotobacter), but we offer flexibility in the choice of specific research topics. The candidate will work as part of an interdisciplinary team and participate in mentoring and collaborating with PhD students.
A PhD degree in microbiology, environmental engineering, chemical engineering or a related field with evidence of research success in the form of peer-reviewed publications are required. Prior experience in microbial cultivation, molecular techniques is an asset.
