Research Fellow: Drought Memory in Soil Microbes

Università di Bologna is seeking a research fellow to explore mechanisms of drought memory in soil microbial communities. The project combines laboratory work and field samples to understand how prior drought exposure shapes microbial responses to water stress.
The fellow will use isotopic tracers and analyses across omics datasets to develop predictive indicators of soil microbial resilience to drought, contributing to broader ecological and biogeochemical insights.
