Project Description The project aims to investigate host-microorganism interactions in nematodes of the genus Caenorhabditis and their bacterial partners, with particular focus on the molecular mechanisms mediating these interactions. Caenorhabditis nematodes feed on bacteria and have close interactions with microbial communities in their natural environments. A recently published preprint from our research group showed that these interactions may potentially influence the evolutionary trajectories of nematodes. However, this phenomenon does not appear to be universal, at least not within the C. elegans group, but seems to depend on nematode species and possibly also on which bacterial species or strains are involved. The project therefore aims to characterize species-specific interactions between nematodes and their bacterial partners. A particularly interesting aspect of the project is how nematodes and bacteria communicate with each other. Job Responsibilities As a researcher, you will conduct experimental laboratory work and be responsible for the ongoing maintenance of nematode and bacterial cultures within the project. You will play an active role in developing, planning, conducting, and coordinating research tasks. You will be responsible for data and sample collection as well as analysis, interpretation, and communication of research results.

Postdoctoral Researcher in Remote Sensing of Forests and Climate Risk Assessment at Mgeo
Special Subject Description Sweden's forests face increasing climate-related pressures in the form of intensified drought, more frequent and damaging storms, and associated risks such as bark beetle infestations. Forest owners and regional authorities need current and spatially detailed information about where climate stress occurs and which forest stands are most vulnerable. However, current monitoring relies largely on field inspections and broad regional assessments, which are often too slow or limited to serve as operational decision-making tools. The Department of Environmental and Geographical Sciences is announcing a postdoctoral position within a project aimed at meeting this need. The project's goal is to develop an operational, web-based service that uses satellite observations from Landsat and Sentinel, tree species maps, forest structure data, and climate indicators for continuous assessment of climate risks in Sweden's forests. The service will provide tree species-specific maps of drought stress, a risk index for storm exposure, and indicators of susceptibility to bark beetle infestations. The service is being developed in collaboration with regional authorities and forest owner associations. The project will also investigate the spatial and temporal mechanisms linking windthrow, drought, and bark beetle infestations and establish the scientific foundation for the service. Duties The primary responsibilities within a postdoctoral position involve conducting research.
