Postdocs
-
Postdoc in Phytoplankton Metabolism & Marine Carbon Storage (https://jobso.id/m9nq). An open position is available at VIB-KU Leuven Center for Microbiology in Belgium, in the lab of Sammy Pontrelli (https://pontrellilab.sites.vib.be/en). The Pontrelli lab is searching for candidates with experience in culturing marine phytoplankton, preferably those with genetic engineering and/or experience with metabolomics. The postdoc will get to combine enzyme assays with metabolomics to study the formation of marine dissolved organic matter. Interviews will start by the end of May, please submit applications as soon as possible.
- The Cohen Lab at University of Georgia Skidaway Institute of Oceanography is recruiting a highly interdisciplinary post-doc to lead independent research initiatives within the disciplines of biological oceanography, microbial ecology and phytoplankton physiology. Now accepting applications.
- Postdoctoral Fellow — Simulating Microbial Systems: Join the Agmon Lab at UConn Health, home of Vivarium — an open-source framework for multiscale biological simulation. We build cutting-edge models of microbial physiology, whole cells, and multicellular systems, collaborating broadly across the fields of computational biology, synthetic biology, and bioinformatics.
- The Departments of Geological Sciences and Meteorology at Stockholm University invite applications for multiple postdoctoral and PhD positions in Arctic and marine sciences. These positions span geochemical oceanographic proxies, micropaleontology, ocean model-ling, ice sheet modelling, and bathymetric mapping, including AI-driven approaches. Successful candidates will work in multidisciplinary teams to investigate ocean-cryosphere interactions around North Greenland, advancing our understanding of climate and environmental change in the high Arctic realm. Application deadlines vary.
- Postdoc opportunity: Modeling the role of marine ecosystems in climate change - at iC3 (Centre for Ice, Cryosphere, Carbon, and Climate). Applications currently accepted.
