The Cluster of Excellence Balance of the Microverse invites applications for
Several postdoctoral researcher positions
The Cluster of Excellence Balance of the Microverse of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena combines expertise in life, material, optical and computational sciences to elevate microbiome studies from descriptive to hypothesis-driven and functional analyses. Our core mission is to elucidate fundamental principles of the interactions and functions in microbial communities in diverse habitats ranging from oceans and ground water to plant and human hosts. The affiliated early career program of the Jena School for Microbial Communication (JSMC) offers an ambitious, structured and interdisciplinary post-graduate training based on top-level fundamental research.
We are curently offering several postdoctoral and doctoral researcher positions. We are seeking motivated and engaging candidates who strive to collaborate widely and look beyond traditional disciplines to further our mission.
Application deadline: 20 June 2022
Applications for these positions are accepted via the JSMC Online Application Portal:
apply.jsmc.uni-jena.de.
Please note that you may apply for up to three projects during the application process. For your application we require scans of your graduation certificates and/or academic transcripts.

Postdoctoral researcher positions
Postdoctoral researchers will find a highly cooperative environment in the Cluster of Excellence. They will benefit from mentoring and career orientation offers as well as networking activities.
Postdoc - Developing bioreactors enabling planctomycetal small molecule production
Developing bioreactors enabling planctomycetal small molecule production
In this project, we will create porous biocompatible 3D polymers and chemically tailor their internal surface to enable immobilization / growth of planctomycetes, respectively create a tailored local environment to utilize their function in small molecule production.
Supervisor:
Prof. Dr. Ulrich Schubert
Postdoc - Identification of universal mediators of microbiome community structure through large scale cross-habitat comparisons
Identification of universal mediators of microbiome community structure through large scale cross-habitat comparisons
We plan to develop artificial intelligence workflows using large-scale community sequencing data sets from host, soil, and aquatic environments to shed light on the ecological properties of the different genera and on the potential of using them as global or habitat-specific modifiers of microbial communities. Therefore, the successful candidate is expected to elucidate factors that determine microbial colonization and persistence, as well as, microbial interdependencies within complex communities.
Supervisor:
Prof. Gianni Panagiotou
Postdoc - Metabolomics Data Mining
Metabolomics Data Mining
We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow with hands-on experience in (un-) targeted metabolomics data analysis, including data mining from public repositories. In close collaboration with metabolic modelling experts within our team, you will assess the nutrient dependencies and inter-dependencies of generalists and specialists and link those to metabolomic data.
