University of Thessaly is offering a postdoc position in environmental microbiology and biotechnology with expected commencement in July 2025. The position is offered in the frame of the project ACTIONr, an H2020 project funded under the call HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ACCESS-03-01 Call Twinning. It is a 3-year project started at 1.11.2022 and involves the collaboration of University of Thessaly with Ecole Centrale de Lyon (Group G. Nicol & C. Hazard) and University of Vienna (Group C. Schleper and M. Kerou). 

Brief Project Description

The overall theme of the research programme is to elucidate the interaction of nitrification inhibitors with microbial communities involved in soil nitrogen cycling. The mitigation of reactive N loss via nitrification inhibitors is a promising solution for increasing N use efficiency (NUE) in agriculture. ACTIONr aims to unravel the scientific excellence and innovation potential through a European network of excellence on establishing novel tools and pathways for optimized NUE, reducing the continued acceleration of the N cycle, and decreasing the environmental footprint of reactive N.

The main tasks of the successful candidate will be: 

• To determine the environmental fate of nitrification inhibitors in soil experiments
• To determine the efficiency of different mixtures of nitrification inhibitors in pot and field studies
• To write scientific papers and present the research in scientific conferences, 
• To participate and contribute to the dissemination, networking and training activities of the project
• To work closely and supervise the lab work of two PhD students that will form the working group of University of Thessaly in the ACTIONr project

Terms of employment

Recruitment and Terms of appointment will be done according to the national rules and regulations. The stipend of the fellow will be 2800 € gross monthly (depending on qualifications of the candidate) covered through a fixed term contract.
