Soils lie at the heart of this challenge. Saltwater contamination of agricultural soils is an emerging problem in temperate coastal areas as fresh ground water sits on top of deeper sea water and in the increasingly dry periods freshwater levels fall closer to the saline interface, which is rising as sea levels rise. This means not only are soils becoming more saline, but that groundwater used for crop irrigation is becoming increasingly saline too.\n\n\nHowever, despite being highly productive areas of agriculture, the short- and long-term effects of increased salinity for agricultural soils and crops in temperate areas are poorly understood. Soil bacteria and fungi are key to soil fertility as they drive nutrient cycling, but very little is known about how soil organisms respond to increased salinity. Previous work shows that saline irrigation affects soil communities, and that soil organisms from saline soils are more tolerant to salt than those from non-saline soils. This leads to the prediction soil organisms can adapt to changes in soil salinity. This project will evaluate whether Darwinian selection processes can be reliably used to ‘push’ soil biological communities to become increasingly tolerant of saline conditions by the process of adaptation, and if so, will evaluate the functional consequences of this for soil quality and crop yield. We seek an individual who is highly motivated to help test how soil biology responds to changes in salinity. This project is part of a consortium associated with the European Joint Programme in Soil and is funded by BBSRC.\n\n\nWe require a person that has experience with and can demonstrate strength and skills in:\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>fieldwork, with soils or in agriculture including the management of large experiments or trials; </li>\n<li>the analyses of soil biology using next-generation sequencing approaches with bar-code amplicons and RNA sequencing; and</li>\n<li>the bioinformatic and statistical analysis of barcode amplicon data to test hypotheses. Ideally the candidate will have experience with evaluating the function of soil microbiomes, preferably via RNA analysis.</li>\n</ol>\n\n\nIdeally you will have experience with additional methods of soil biological, chemical or physical analysis and/or with plant or crop analyses. You will also have a proven track record in leading the generation and publication of quality peer-reviewed published manuscripts and the dissemination of research at both specialist science conferences as well at events aimed at the general non-specialist public.\n\n\nEnquires may be addressed to Professor Mat Goddard, <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"mailto:mgoddard@lincoln.ac.uk\" rel=\"no-follow\">mgoddard@lincoln.ac.uk</a>\n\n\n","pdfUrl1":null,"location":"Lincoln, United Kingdom","location1":"유럽","location2":null,"location3":null,"type":"2","applyUrl":"https://jobs.lincoln.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?ref=COS870","fileUrl1":null,"fileUrl2":null,"fileUrl3":null,"fileUrl4":null,"fileUrl5":null,"fileUrl6":null,"fileUrl7":null,"workingHour":"Full Time","contractType":"Fixed Term","salary":"£34,304 per annum","original_id":"UNI|278944","original_domain":"timeshighereducation.com","original_url":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/unijobs/listing/278944","original_isPremium":null,"closeType":1,"closedAt":"2022-03-02T00:00:00.000Z","requireEducation":10,"managerTel":null,"managerFax":null,"managerEmail":"mgoddard@lincoln.ac.uk","managerName":"UNIVERSITY OF LINCOLN","managerPhone":null,"managerAddress":"Lincoln, United Kingdom","log_hit":3,"log_like":0,"publishState":1,"organizationName":null,"organizationName_en":null,"organizationName_alt":null,"del_yn":"N","createdAt":"2022-01-25T18:37:26.000Z","updatedAt":"2022-01-25T18:37:26.000Z"},"organization":{"organizationId":1146,"lv1Id":null,"lv2Id":null,"name":"University of Lincoln","name_en":"University of Lincoln","name_alt":",","introduction":"Situated in the heart of a beautiful and historic city in the East Midlands region of England, the University of Lincoln, UK, has established an international reputation for the quality of its teaching and research and its innovative approach to working with employers. The University has around 15,000 students across its four academic colleges, covering arts, science, business and social sciences subjects with more than 300 courses available in total at undergraduate and postgraduate level.&nbsp;The city of Lincoln is approximately within an hour’s journey time of Nottingham, Leicester and Sheffield, and well-connected by road and rail to London and several major UK airports. Popular with tourists, its medieval castle and cathedral attract hundreds of thousands of visitors from across the world each year. Most of the University’s students are based at the main Brayford Pool Campus in the picturesque waterfront area of Lincoln’s city centre. More than 100 different nationalities are represented among the academic community.&nbsp;The University was awarded Gold – the highest standard possible – in the 2017 Teaching Excellence Framework, a nationwide assessment of teaching quality across UK higher education institutions and it was ranked in the UK top 20 in The Guardian University Guide 2020.Since the University of Lincoln’s Brayford Pool Campus was opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1996, more than £350 million has been invested in the buildings and facilities, and while the institution can trace its origins back to 1861, it is listed by The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2019 as one of the UK’s top modern universities.&nbsp;The University of Lincoln has won a string of awards for its approach to working with employers, most notably its relationship with global engineering company Siemens in developing the Lincoln School of Engineering, which was the first dedicated facility of its kind created in the UK for more than 20 years. The University also has a strong reputation for the quality of its research, with more than half of its submitted research rated as internationally-excellent or world-leading in the UK’s last nationwide assessment of university research standards, the 2014 Research Excellent Framework (REF 2014). Its researchers work on major international collaborations with universities around the world with specialisms in areas including medical imaging, architectural conservation, rural economic development, agri-tech, biotechnology and new drug development.&nbsp;INTERNATIONAL PATHWAYSThe University of Lincoln aims to provide a stimulating and supportive environment for international students from around the world.The University of Lincoln International Study Centre runs university preparation courses for international students who do not otherwise meet the direct entry requirements for an undergraduate degree course. Students can apply for an International Foundation Year or International Year One course, depending on their English Language and academic level, for several of Lincoln’s undergraduate programmes. Upon successful completion, students can progress to degree level study. The ISC’s university preparation courses are provided by Study Group in collaboration with the University of Lincoln. For more information, visit: <a href=\"http://www.lincolnisc.com\">www.lincolnisc.com</a>The University’s in-house English Language Centre also offers Pre-sessional English and Academic Study Skills (PEASS) courses to help international students meet the minimum language requirements for their chosen academic course and to familiarise themselves with UK academic culture and study skills before starting a degree at Lincoln.Each year, the University of Lincoln awards a number of merit-based, subject-specific, and country-focused scholarships to international students. Eligibility and awards vary by country, so please visit our website for further information: <a href=\"http://www.lincoln.ac.uk/international\">www.lincoln.ac.uk/international</a>&nbsp;RESEARCH AT LINCOLNAt the University of Lincoln, our academic teams are involved in research at the leading edge of their disciplines, from developing new antibiotics and more effective cancer treatments, to tackling the digital divide and preserving historical artefacts.We are committed to undertaking purposeful research that has a real impact beyond academia.
