PhD Position in evolutionary biology of microalgae
vor 1 Woche
Your position The successful candidate will focus on physiological innovations related to sterols and will (i) identify their composition and distribution among species, (ii) examine genomes for positive selection to detect sterol-related innovations and associated genes, and (iii) assess sterol functions and the underlying genetic networks through comparative transcriptomics analyses. The work will involve fieldwork in East Africa and laboratory research in Switzerland, with additional visits to the University of Arkansas and Ghent University, providing opportunities to develop an independent research profile. Your profile Applicants should hold a Master's degree in biology, ecology, evolutionary biology, microbiology, physiology, genetics, or a related discipline. Experience in diatom culturing, single-cell DNA isolation and amplification, phylogenetic, and sterol analyses is highly desirable, but not required. The successful candidate should be able to work both independently and as part of a team, particularly when sampling and conducting fieldwork in remote locations in Africa. Strong communication skills and fluency in English are required.
