The Working Group Soil Science and Soil Resources at the Faculty of Geosciences is looking for a PhD student (m/f/d) in soil science within DFG priority program "Soil Systems", for 3 years, 25.8 hours per week, TVL E13. Although the stabilization of organic matter by binding to minerals has been demonstrated, quantitative information on the relationship with the thermodynamics of sorption reactions is lacking. Within the priority program we want to determine the importance of thermodynamic parameters that characterize the reactions relevant for substrate utilization under increasingly complex conditions. The project advertised here follows a mineral-based approach that scales from mineral surface-molecule interactions to microbial utilization of substrates, with increasing complexity of mineral surfaces (OH groups, crystallinity) and mixtures. Please find more detail here: Your profile: Completed studies in the fields of physical geography, soil science, ecology, environmental, agricultural or geosciences or (physical) chemistry; Enjoy precise laboratory work and thermodynamic calculations; willingness to work with 14C-labeled substances; Willingness to travel, including measurement stays in Giessen; Strong teamwork and cooperation skills; Very good knowledge of English; Driving license class B is an advantage. We are looking forward to receiving your application with the specification ANR: 4254 until 03.03.2025, send by e-mail to the following address: ines.mulder@rub.de.
