The work group Photobiotechnology at the Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, is looking for a motivated doctoral candidate (m/f/d) for a project on nitric oxide- (NO-) based signal transduction in Chlamydomonas. Our group studies the acclimation of this microalga to stress conditions, hypoxia in particular. The imminent climate change is likely to cause extreme weather conditions … Continued

Iva Mozgová established independent research group in January 2019. Currently, 14 people of 7 nationalities are working on 3 research grants. We are interested in the function and evolution of the Polycomb Repressive Complexes (PRC) in plants. We focus on PRC2 function during plant growth and vegetative development. We combine methods of molecular biology and … Continued

The group of Yonghua Li-Beisson at CEA Cadarache, Aix-Marseille University offers two postdoc or one PhD/one Postdoc position starting spring or summer 2021. Research areas Microalgae are promising sources for production of renewable energies.  Our group focus on the study of algal photosynthesis, lipid and hydrocarbon metabolism and aims to dissect major pathways and their … Continued

Cyanobacteria and algae have a potential commercial value as microbial producers of fuel or products with higher value. However, in nature their blooms also are threatening health and industrial benefits. To learn more about the viability of large algal/bacterial cultures Christiane Funk´s group at Umeå University plans to study the protease family of metacaspases and … Continued

Ph.D. Position in Plant Biology The Sasso lab at the University of Leipzig in Germany offers a Ph.D. position starting at the next possible date. Activities and responsibilities Microscopic algae (microalgae) are important primary producers in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. During the sexual reproduction of many microalgae, the formation of zygotes is coupled to the … Continued

An NIH-funded postdoctoral position currently is available in the Witman lab.  We study cilia and flagella (terms here used interchangeably) to understand how they are assembled and function and why defects in specific ciliary proteins cause human diseases.  Most of our research utilizes Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, which has major advantages for studies of flagella; we also … Continued

The Dutcher lab is located in beautiful St. Louis, Missouri at Washington University School of Medicine, and we are looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join our group to study cilia and centrioles.  We are funded by grants from NIGMS, NHLBI, and NSF.   We study the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.  We use genetics, genomics, … Continued

Photosynthetic organisms, our planet’s greatest chemists, form the foundations for human health by providing us with food, fuel, materials and drugs. Yet, our understanding of these organisms is in its infancy. The Jonikas laboratory aims to enable advances in sustainability by developing transformative tools and resources for photosynthetic organisms. We currently seek an outstanding postdoctoral … Continued
