Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Algal Microbiome Engineering

Full-time Biology, Biotech & Chemistry

Responsibilities

The post‑doctoral project focuses on programmable marine microbiomes and mechanistic interactions within the diatom phycosphere. Responsibilities include:

• Developing and applying experimental model systems to study metabolite exchange, microbial community interactions, and engineered microbial consortia in marine environments.
• Conducting cultivation and engineering of marine bacteria and microalgae, constructing synthetic microbial consortia, and investigating microbial metabolite exchange relevant to nutrient cycling and carbon fixation.
• Performing transcriptomics, genomics, metabolomics, and bioinformatics analyses to unravel molecular interactions between diatoms and associated microorganisms.
• Contributing actively to scientific publications, collaborative research activities, and external funding development.
• Working independently while collaborating within an interdisciplinary and international ...
