瑞士洛桑联邦理工学院博士后—分子微生物学和微生物生理学

洛桑联邦理工学院（法语：École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne，简称：EPFL），又译为瑞士联邦理工学院（洛桑），坐落于瑞士洛桑，与姊妹校苏黎世联邦理工学院一起组成瑞士联邦理工学院。创立于1853年，最初是由巴黎中央理工学院毕业生Lois Rivier和John Gay建立的洛桑大学工程师学院，起初规模非常小，后于1969年从洛桑大学正式独立而迅速扩张。EPFL是欧洲卓越理工大学联盟战略成员，全球大学校长论坛成员，专注于工程技术与自然科学两大领域。

Postdoctoral Researcher in Molecular Microbiology and Microbial Physiology at EPFL

Ecole polytechnique federale de Lausanne – EPFL

We are seeking a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Institute of Environmental Engineering at EPFL (the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne). The selected candidate will engage in cutting-edge research in applied environmental microbiology. The research will focus broadly on microbial physiology and genetics in CO2 reduction and N2 fixation processes (such as methanogen, Azotobacter), but we offer flexibility in the choice of specific research topics. The candidate will work as part of an interdisciplinary team and participate in mentoring and collaborating with PhD students.

The position will be held in the Microbial Physiology and Resource Biorecovery laboratory (MICROBE) led by Dr. Wenyu GU at EPFL. This Postdoc position is funded by a large collaborative grant awarded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. As such, collaboration and research stays are anticipated to take place between groups housed at the UNIGE (Ross MILTON), ETHZ (Victor MOUGEL and Markus REIHER), the CEA Grenoble (Tristan WAGNER) and the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion (George CUTSAIL).

EPFL is a public research university specializing in engineering and natural sciences and is part of the ETH Domain.
