Despite significant advances in understanding microbial community assembly and functioning in changing environments, most current studies typically provide “snap-shots” of microbial communities during environmental change without identifying the microbial life stage of the microbes. The distinction between growing, dormant and dead cells has been overlooked in microbial ecology, especially in archaea, while it is critical for understanding detailed adaptation mechanisms. Among those mechanisms, dormancy is likely key to maintaining microbial diversity. Indeed, microbes can enter dormancy to cope with environmental stresses, forming "seed banks" which can be further reactivated when further environmental change happens.

Salary will be at the appropriate point on Grade 6, £36,333 - £43,155 per annum with placement according to qualifications and experience.
