Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Algal Microbiome Engineering

Postdoctoral researcher in Marine Microbiomes and Synthetic Biology at the Norwegian College of Fishery Science, UiT The Arctic University of Norway.

Responsibilities

• Develop and apply experimental approaches for studying mechanistic interactions between marine microalgae and associated bacterial communities within the diatom phycosphere.
• Engineer marine bacteria and microalgae, construct synthetic microbial consortia, and investigate microbial metabolite exchange relevant to nutrient cycling and carbon fixation in marine ecosystems.
• Conduct transcriptomics, genomics, metabolomics, and bioinformatics analyses to investigate molecular interactions between diatoms and associated microorganisms.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary research teams, contribute actively to scientific publications, and support external funding development.
• Prepare and submit a 2‑page project proposal outlining how to design diatom phycosphere...
