Postdoctoral Position in Modeling Global Marine Phytoplankton-Virus Interactions

The University of Amsterdam is offering a 3-year postdoctoral position focused on modeling global marine phytoplankton and virus interactions. This research opportunity is ideal for candidates interested in marine biology, virology, and computational modeling of biological systems. The successful applicant will join an interdisciplinary team led by Assistant Professor Cara Nissen, working at the intersection of biology and environmental science to advance our understanding of marine ecosystems and their global impact. The project centers on the development and application of models to study the interactions between marine phytoplankton and viruses, which play a crucial role in oceanic ecological processes. Candidates with a background in biology, environmental science, or related fields, and with experience in modeling or computational approaches, are encouraged to apply. The position offers the chance to contribute to cutting-edge research in marine science at a leading European institution. Applicants should possess strong analytical skills and be comfortable working in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment. The University of Amsterdam provides a vibrant academic setting with access to state-of-the-art resources and a supportive research community. The application deadline is March 22, 2026.
