🚨PhD position alert!🚨 We're hiring a PhD to investigate isotope compositions of sulfur-bearing organic molecules to try to develop potential bio-signatures. Funded by NCCR Genesis and joint between Johanna Marin-Carbonne @unil.bsky.social and myself! career5.successfactors.eu/career?caree...

Happy to see Elisa Hernández Magaña's paper out in ISME Commun tinyurl.com/42xzvdzs We show that dark oxygen production is a common trait among AOA and also occurs in AOB. Many thanks to our coauthors Don Canfield, Alyson Santoro and Muzi Li and @villumfonden.bsky.social for supporting this work.

Oxygen production via nitric oxide dismutation in diverse ammonia oxidizers

Abstract. Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) are widespread and highly abundant in nature. Despite their typical aerobic metabolism, they thrive in ecosystems

Very excited to announce *TWO* fully-funded PhD positions starting this summer focusing on greenhouse gases in the peatlands of the Congo Basin! Both positions are joint between my group in @eth-eaps.bsky.social and that of @johansix.bsky.social @usyseth.bsky.social. Come join us!

💫 I am recruiting a postdoctoral candidate for a 3-year position starting in summer 2026 to work on the role of extracellular RNA (eRNA) in interspecies interactions.

In addition to the 2 postdoc jobs posted yesterday, we’re recruiting 2 PhD students (environmental microbiology/ molecular ecology) to join us from April. The projects will map microbial populations across niches in bioelectrochemical systems relevant to biomethanation & link them to performance.
