Mission

The Microbial Physiology and Resource Biorecovery Laboratory (MICROBE), led by Dr. Wenyu Gu at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), invites applications for a fully funded Postdoctoral Researcher position in Microbial Ecology.

We are seeking a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Institute of Environmental Engineering. The successful candidate will conduct cutting-edge research in applied and environmental microbiology, with a particular focus on microbial community assembly and interaction principles using anaerobic digestion communities as a model system.

Main duties and responsibilities

Anaerobic digestion communities are among the best-characterized and most ecologically important microbial ecosystems. Composed of diverse bacteria and archaea that cooperate through metabolic interactions, these communities drive the degradation of o...
