Postdoc Position in Pollution and Biodiversity of

vor 2 Wochen

Berlin, Deutschland Leibniz-Institut für Gewässerökologie und Binnenfischerei Vollzeit

The aim of this postdoc position is to quantify and characterize the chemical water quality and biodiversity of urban ponds in Berlin. Specifically, we will examine organic contaminants such as biocides, flame retardants, or vehicle-related compounds in urban ponds and quantify how the presence of pollutants links to the freshwater biodiversity at different trophic levels using sequencing approaches. The position also aims to design laboratory experiments to investigate the local adaptation of key players in the freshwater food web (e.g., ciliates, zooplankton) and to assess whether microbial communities in urban ponds have an enhanced ability to degrade anthropogenic organic pollutants.

**Your tasks**:

- Field sampling of urban ponds in Berlin
- Sample preparation and chemical analysis of organic contaminants in pond samples
- DNA extraction of water samples to assess biodiversity in urban ponds and corresponding data mining
- Planning and performing laboratory experiments to quantify microbial biotransformation of organic pollutants
- Integrated analysis of chemical and biological data

**Your profile**:

- A PhD (or being close to receiving a PhD) in biology, environmental chemistry or a related field of environmental science
- Previous hands-on experience with organic environmental chemistry, sequencing techniques, and/or conducting experiments with living organisms
- Experience in statistical analysis of large data sets
- A strong interest in interdisciplinary research
- A strong publication record in internationally leading journals (commensurate with career stage)
- Strong English language skills both in oral and written communication
- Good track record or potential for raising external research funds (commensurate with career stage)
- Good potential for student supervision
- Dedicated person with team-spirit

**Our offer**:
We offer an exciting position in an international and dynamic scientific environment including excellent equipment and technical support. Your **career development** is fostered by qualification and training opportunities. We actively support the reconciliation of work and family life.

The position is a 100% postdoc for 18 months with a starting date earliest April 2023. Salary is paid according to the German salary scheme for the public sector (E 13 TVöD Bund).
