PhD Research Assistant in Applied Zoology: Fitness Effects of Dietary Lipids Technical University of Dresden in Germany

Two funded PhD positions are available in Kenneth Dumack’s group at the University of Koblenz, Germany, investigating an unusual photosynthetic rhizarian and its complex plastid. The projects aim to determine how the plastid was acquired and how this organelle is integrated into the eukaryotic cell. One PhD project centers on evolutionary genomics and bioinformatic physiology, offering a computational perspective on plastid evolution and cellular function. The second project focuses on cell biol...
