PhD-Position (f/m/x) in Microscale Analysis of Hydrogen-Producing Cyanobacteria
PhD position within the project “Chip-based cultivation and analysis of photohydrogen production in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803” is devoted
to connecting the condition-dependent reactivity of a hydrogen-producing cyanobacterial photobiocatalyst with extracellular reaction parameters.
The capacity of freshwater resources to maintain biodiversity and provide essential ecosystem functions has been exceeded in many places following human impacts.
UFZ – Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, Department Ecosystem Services, in collaboration with the German Centre for integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig offers the following position:
Doctorate student on
Analysing the impacts of the Common Agricultural Policy on Biodiversity, Ecosystem Services and people
within the project:
Agroecology-TRANSECT: Trans-disciplinary approaches for systemic economic, ecological and climate change transitions
The candidate will develop research in collaboration with 2 postdoc fellows and one PhD student, based in Leipzig, Tolouse (France) and Rockstock (Germany) in collaborations with Dr. Clelia Sirami (INRAE) and Prof. Dr. Sebastian Lakner (University of Rockstock).
PhD Position (f/m/x) Subject: Cyanobacterial Hydrogen Production
The working group “Applied Biocatalysis” (Department Solar Materials) at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research GmbH – UFZ in Leipzig offers a PhD position. The PhD work will contribute to the development of hydrogen producing cyanobacteria making use of photosynthetic water oxidation to fuel hydrogen production with the necessary reduction equivalents.
PhD position (m/f/d) to survey and analyse the development of vegetation and its ecosystem functions in glacier forelands of the Alps, starting 1.10.2022 in the Department of Community Ecology
Thesis/Student assistant (m/f/d) – Topic: Understanding the interaction of chemical and non-chemical stressors in freshwater ecosystems.
Research Technician/ HIWI (f/m/x)
HiWi for plant ecology and invasion science projects wanted until end of year
Intensive use of resources, morphological changes and climate change pose a major challenge for our river ecosystems, which are interconnected in many ways with their surrounding landscape.
Research Assistant (f/m/x) for the Study of Microbial Cell Assembly using Single Cell Analysis
In our group we have been working in the field of microbial population ecology for several years. Single cell techniques that can measure specific functions are being developed as part of the Z-project and will be made available for collaboration in the SPP. Visualization of population-inherent phenotypes (subpopulations) with a range of different fluorescent markers and sorting of these phenotypes for further down-stream analysis will be part of the work. Certain technologies will be adapted to the microorganisms used in the Z project, and new technologies will be developed and made available for collaboration in the Z project. The technician will help to develop new technologies to visualize functional properties of the single microbial cell.

Certain technologies will be adapted to the microorganisms used in the Z project, and new technologies will be developed and made available for collaboration in the Z project. Through these techniques and with the help of bioinformatics, the spatiotemporal functional properties of cell assemblies will be understood at a higher level. The postdoctoral position required for the Z-Project will support an early career scientist on the path to an independent research career.
Scientist (f/m/x) for environmental monitoring & development of data infrastructures
Environmental monitoring is essential for improving the understanding of environmental processes. We are looking for you to further develop concepts for the collection of monitoring data as well as the enrichment with suitable metadata within the projects CityCLIM and ALAMEDA.
