📢 Call for Expression of Interest – Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellowship (MSCA PF)
We are looking for a candidate to develop a proposal on:
Nitrogen cycling in arid and/or drought-affected ecosystems, with a focus on soil microbial processes (including fungi).
🚀 What we offer
Complementary expertise and field experimental platforms for drought research
Strong track record in nitrogen cycling, ecosystem ecology, and isotope biogeochemistry
A tenure-track position at the University of Bologna within 3 years after the fellowship
📩 Interested candidates should contact us with a CV ([email protected]). We will evaluate applications and support one selected candidate.
New co-author paper out in New Phytologist, collaboration with many wonderful people from the University of Vienna and more, lead by Kian Jenab and Christina Kaiser. We explored long-term nutrient deficiency on arbuscular mycorrhizal communities.

Postdoc Opportunity – Methanotrophs and Drought Resilience
Are you interested or working on microbial ecology and methane ?
We’re looking for a motivated postdoc or final-year PhD interested in submitting a Marie Skłodowska-Curie or HFSP proposal with us (in Italy and&or Norway).
If you’re excited by: Soil microbial responses to climate extremes and Aerobic methane oxidation in terrestrial ecosystems we’d love to hear from you!
We're currently forming a proposal team and planning for this or next year calls.
Reach out directly if you're interested in exploring this opportunity either me (canarinialberto.com) or Alexander Tveit (uit.no/research/ceco)
