Postdoc: Leibniz-IGB Berlin — Aquatic Fungi Genomics Ecology

Via @EvolDir – Post Here 2 Postdocs and 2 PhD Studentships Biodiversity, Ecology, and Genomics of Aquatic Fungi Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) The Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) is the largest freshwater ecology research institute in Germany (www.igb-berlin.de) and one of 8 member institutes of the Forschungsverbund Berlin e.V (www.fv-berlin.de). IGB offers world-class laboratory and field facilities for interdisciplinary research and is a founding member of the Berlin Center for Genomics in Biodiversity Research. The Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) brings together scientific competence from agricultural science, geo- and biosciences to socio-economics (www.zalf.de). Fungi are of central importance for the global carbon cycle because of their role in the degration of complex organic matter such as plant material. Fungi also represent one of the last frontiers of biodiversity, as their taxonomic diversity and metabolic potential remain poorly understood. This is particularly true for those fungi that are abundant in freshwaters. MycoLink (Linking aquatic mycodiversity to ecosystem function) is an interdisciplinary project integrating the expertise of 4 Leibniz Institutes: IGB, ZALF, DSMZ, the Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB), the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (Z...
