Aarhus University is offering a PhD fellowship in soil viruses, focusing on the role of phages that infect Actinobacteria in soil carbon cycling and sequestration. The research will involve wet lab experiments to study viral characteristics, including burst size, host range, and genome content. The PhD candidate will isolate and culture phages, develop phage-host model systems, and contribute to understanding viral contributions to soil carbon cycling. Candidates should have a relevant Master’s degree and experience in microbiology or virology.
