About the African Genome Center (AGC)
The African Genome Center is a multidisciplinary research entity dedicated to advancing genomics and systems biology approaches to address critical challenges in agriculture, environment, and health. AGC integrates expertise in microbial ecology, soil and plant sciences, environmental genomics, and biotechnology to develop innovative, sustainable solutions tailored to African and global agroecosystems.
Position Overview
The successful candidates will contribute to an interdisciplinary research program focused on understanding the sources, mobility, and bioavailability of cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), and arsenic (As) in agricultural soils, and their effects on plant growth, nutrient uptake, and physiological performance.
The research will explore interactions between trace elements, soil microbial communities, and plant–soil feedback mechanisms, as well as their impacts on key soil health indicators, including biological, chemical, and functional attributes.
A strong emphasis will be placed on bioremediation and nature-based solutions, such as microbial-assisted remediation and plant–microbe interactions in the rhizosphere, endophytic compartments, and mycorrhizal associations, with the ultimate goal of developing sustainable management strategies for contaminated agroecosystems.
The project will integrate field investigations, controlled experiments, and advanced analytical approaches, including soil chemistry, microbial ecology, molecular tools, and functional assays.
Required Education
- PhD in soil science, environmental sciences, microbiology, agronomy, plant sciences, or a related field
Required Qualifications
- Strong background in trace element dynamics, soil–plant interactions, or environmental biogeochemistry
- Experience in experimental design, data analysis, and scientific writing
- Added value: expertise in microbial ecology, bioremediation, or omics-based approaches
