Project Description

Uppsala University is a comprehensive research-intensive university with a strong international standing. Our ultimate goal is to conduct education and research of the highest quality and relevance to make a long-term difference in society. Our most important assets are all the individuals whose curiosity and dedication make Uppsala University one of Sweden’s most exciting workplaces. Uppsala University has over 45,000 students, more than 7,000 employees and a turnover of around SEK 7 billion.

The Department of Ecology and Genetics is an international environment with staff and students worldwide. Our research spans from evolutionary ecology and genetics to studies of ecosystems. For more information, see www.ieg.uu.se. A PhD student position in Microbial community ecology is available at the Department of Ecology and Genetics, Limnology.

The limnology programme includes three primaries, highly interactive and collaborative research groups: microbial ecology, population and community ecology and biogeochemistry. See https://www.ieg.uu.se/limnology/

It is well known that different ecosystems are connected to each other through the transport of energy and matter, which affects the functioning of ecosystems. It is, however, less investigated is how the dispersal of living organisms affects ecosystems, not primarily due to their functions but rather because of the matter they transport between ecosystems.

This project focuses on distributing bacteria between ecosystems and their importance as a food source for higher trophic levels. One hypothesis to be tested is that the volume of bacteria as a food source depends on their food quality, for instance, related to their elemental stoichiometry.

Application Deadline

The deadline for applications is April 01, 2021
