The National Research Council Canada is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow in Halifax, Canada, through its Metrology Research Centre. The two-year project, Innovating Algal Biotoxin Surveillance Through Digital Immuno-Polymerase Chain Reaction , will develop molecular and analytical tools for detecting harmful algal blooms and cyanobacterial toxins. The fellow will establish droplet digital PCR assays targeting toxin-biosynthesis genes, then develop immuno-ddPCR methods that combine antibody-based...

Lílian Caesar, Assistant Professor at the University of Oklahoma, is recruiting PhD students for the Caesar Lab starting Fall 2027. The lab studies how host-associated microbiomes assemble, function, and evolve, using social bees as a model system. Research interests include microbiome science, microbial ecology, evolution, bioinformatics, comparative genomics, ecological modeling, phylogenomics, programming, microbiology, molecular biology, microbial culturing, and experimental host–microbe int...

New research opportunity at CNR Istituto di Ricerca Sulle Acque (IRSA) in Montelibretti (Rome), Italy, within the BioSpell project. The project focuses on the links between biofilm structure , physiology , and the occurrence of spontaneous electric fields within biomass. The work involves developing natural biofilms and granules, as well as artificially engineered systems using hydrogels , alginate , and related methods. Research activities include biofilm growth, cellular colonization, and meta...
