Closing date for applications:  • Location: Leipzig Student Assistant (f/m/x) in Plant and Soil Interactions
Our aim is to unravel how reductions in water availability can affect the growth and lifespans of fine roots of trees, and the reliability of trees on mycorrhizal symbionts for resource uptake. We are therefore looking for a motivated student assistant (f/m/x) to support us with the establishment of field experiments that will help us measure belowground matter fluxes at the interface between trees and soils.

Closing date for applications:  • Location: Leipzig Master Thesis - Investigation of the impact of ATES systems on local groundwater microbiome
Underground thermal energy storage in aquifers (Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage, ATES) can make an important contribution to seasonal heat management in urban areas. The aim of the master thesis is to investigate the effects of ATES systems on the groundwater microbiome and on the local contamination of the aquifer by means of laboratory microcosm experiments.
