Postdoc in Molecular Geobiology at Globe Institute
Copenhagen University
We are offering a 3-year Post doctoral position commencing 1st of November 2024 or as soon as possible hereafter.
Your job The aim of this project is to investigate taphonomy of environmental DNA and to enhance understanding of DNA-sediment associations. You will be using FTIR and Raman spectroscopy in combination with atomic force microscopy (AFM), optical and fluorescence microscopy to understand preservation and fate of environmental DNA. You will be doing model studies to understand fundamental interactions between DNA and sedimentary component such as minerals and organic components. In addition, you will also be characterizing collected samples to enhance our understanding of DNA-sediment associations. You will be involved in developing updated extraction procedures. Your work will be heavily laboratory based and it will be expected that you can work independently with the mentioned work.
