The Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior is offering a postdoctoral position in the sensory ecology of worm towers , based in Konstanz, Germany, within the Genes and Behavior Research Group. The project investigates how Caenorhabditis nematodes use sensory systems to construct collective towers, detect dispersal vectors, and relocate successfully. The research will examine how worms acquire, process, and respond to environmental and social information through mechanisms including mechanosensi...

About this position

The University of Oldenburg is offering a doctoral researcher position in microalgal systems biology within the Institute for Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment (ICBM), based in the General and Molecular Microbiology group led by Prof. Dr. Ralf Rabus.

The research is part of the Lower Saxony collaborative project Marine Algal Systems Biology (MAlSyB), a joint initiative involving the Universities of Oldenburg, Hannover, Braunschweig, and Göttingen, together with the DSMZ in Braunschweig. The consortium studies the globally distributed, bloom-forming marine dinoflagellate Prorocentrum cordatum, a unicellular model microalga with distinctive cell-biological, photosynthetic, and genomic characteristics.

The doctoral project focuses on how P. cordatum adapts to changing nutrient regimes. The researcher will conduct tailored cultivation experiments to quantify physiological performance and examine associated changes in organelle structure using focused ion beam/scanning electron microscopy (FIB/SEM). The project also investigates dynamics in the soluble proteome through shotgun proteomics.

Experimental findings will be integrated with systems-biology data generated across the MAlSyB consortium. The work combines physiology, cell biology, proteomics, image analysis, systems biology, and evolutionary perspectives to develop a mechanistic understanding of microalgal adaptation and changing physiological performance in the context of climate-driven environmental change.

The position offers an interdisciplinary marine-science research environment spanning biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematical modelling, with collaboration across multiple research groups and partner institutions.

Funding details

The position is a 65% part-time doctoral researcher employment contract, paid at salary grade E13 TV-L, for three years. Benefits include 30 days of vacation, collective-agreement remuneration, a company pension scheme, further education opportunities, flexible working hours, health management, remote working, childcare support, university sports, and corporate benefits.

What's required

Applicants must hold a qualifying university Master’s degree or Diploma in microbiology, cell biology, proteomics, or a related field. Relevant research experience, knowledge of general physiology, and experience with OMICS methods and/or image analysis are desirable. Applicants must be fluent in written and spoken English and demonstrate strong interest in multidisciplinary teamwork across the MAlSyB consortium.

How to apply

Email a single PDF containing a cover letter, CV, and qualifying documents/final degree records to Prof. Dr. Ralf Rabus at [email protected] by 15 November 2026.
