PhD Position in Microbial Ecology and Supraglacial Microbial Biomass Controls Aarhus University in Denmark

PhD opportunity at Aarhus University in Arctic microbial ecology , focused on supraglacial habitats on the Greenland Ice Sheet. The project, Top-down controls of microbial biomass in supraglacial habitats , investigates how viruses, grazers, and parasitic fungi regulate microbial communities on glacier surfaces. The research centers on algae and cyanobacteria that contribute to ice-darkening and melt, with specific attention to protozoan grazing, chytrid fungal infections, and microbial mortalit...
