Available positions
Postdoctoral Fellow in Marine microbial environmental genomics
Microorganisms drive biogeochemical cycles and underpin food webs making them essential for the health and functioning of marine ecosystems. At the Baltic Sea Centre at Stockholm University research focuses on scientific issues important for understanding and managing the Baltic Sea. SeaLab – a joint research venture between the Baltic Sea Centre and the Environmental Genomics group at SciLifeLab – contributes through exploration of the marine microbiome. At SeaLab, we investigate microbial metabolism using gene, transcript and protein inventories coupled to environmental metadata.
This position will focus on microorganisms that produce and consume greenhouse gases (GHGs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the coastal Baltic Sea. While coastal ecosystems have generally been regarded as carbon sinks, recent research has shown that they can also emit methane, nitrous oxide, and underexplored VOCs. Microbial activity is key to these emissions, but we need to understand how different processes are regulated and the extent that microbial metabolism varies over time and space in relation to environmental conditions.
Apply before 22 June.
