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).

Exciting news! We received funding to create a first Slovenian Agricultural Soil Microbiome Atlas!!! 🥳 A crucial step toward sustainable farming, healthier soils, and resilient food systems. Open for collaborations and sharing samples/data.

Just returned from an inspiring #BAGECO2025 in Graz - a big thank you to the organizers for an excellent event with an outstanding lineup of speakers. BAGECO always reminds me why microbial ecology is such an exciting field.
