Job description

I am a microbiologist, with a broad understanding in a variety of terrestrial and aquatic habitats. They cover wet habitats such as fens and bogs in Northern Scandinavia and Northern Siberia, dry cold climates such as the Antarctic continent, dry hot habitats in Chile as well as lakes and ponds in Middle Europe. My work includes the analysis of chemical/physical parameters, the isolation and cultivation of various microorganisms (bacteria, archaea, fungi), the extraction, amplification and quantification of DNA/RNA from cultures and environmental (low biomass) samples as well as the analysis of high-throughput sequencing data using bioinformatics and statistics.
