and transdisciplinary project and involves partners from Berlin, Stechlin, Potsdam, Hannover, and the University of Iowa, USA.
The aim of this PhD project is to quantify how the gut microbiome mediates the response of Daphnia to chemical pollution in urban ponds and whether such adaptation results in increased resilience of pond ecosystems. If you are passionate about evolutionary and microbial ecology and aspire to make a meaningful contribution in the context of urban ecology and sustainability, this is an exceptional opportunity to be part of a cutting-edge and interdisciplinary research project.
**Your tasks**:
- Field work and sampling of urban ponds
- Isolation of Daphnia populations from pond and experimental samples
- Isolation of gut microbiomes of Daphnia from pond samples
- Designing and performing experiments to test for microbiome-mediated tolerance of Daphnia to urban pollution (including microbiome transplants)
- Participation in an outdoor mesocosm experiment to assess the impact of pollution on aquatic organisms
- Performing statistical analyses of experimental data
- Writing of manuscripts for submission to international peer-reviewed journals
- Further result dissemination through presentations at national and international conferences
**Your profile**:
- Master (or equivalent) degree in biology, environmental sciences or a related field
- Keen interest in understanding eco-evolutionary and host-microbiome interactions
- Strong engagement for experimental work; demonstration of previous hands-on experience with experimental work is a bonus
- Experience in statistical analysis (preferentially in R)
- Very good English skills including scientific writing
- Collaborative team-spirit and good communication skills
**Our offer**:
We offer an interesting position in an international and dynamic scientific environment. We foster flat hierarchies and active participation.
