About this position

Solange Duhamel’s lab at the University of Arizona is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate in marine microbial ecology for the NSF Biological Oceanography–funded P-MixSwitch collaboration with Susquehanna University.

The project studies prasinophyte mixoplankton—single-celled marine algae that can both photosynthesize and consume bacterial prey—to understand whether they switch from photosynthesis to feeding when phosphorus becomes scarce, and how that behavior affects carbon cycling in the ocean.

The postdoc will lead laboratory culture experiments with prasinophyte mixoplankton and bacterial prey, including designing and running exponentially fed batch culture systems. The role is collaborative and multidisciplinary, with transcriptomics led by the Charvet Lab at Susquehanna University.

This is a full-time, 24-month appointment, renewed annually depending on performance and funding. The position includes funded travel to conferences and structured career development through the project’s postdoctoral mentoring plan.

Applications are reviewed starting October 5, 2026 and the position is open until filled. The target start date is January 4, 2027.

Interested candidates should apply via the linked portal. Questions can be directed to Valerie McClure at [email protected].

Funding details

Full-time 24-month postdoctoral appointment, renewed annually contingent on performance and funding. The position includes NSF Biological Oceanography funding through P-MixSwitch, funded travel to present at conferences, and structured career development under the postdoctoral mentoring plan.

What's required

PhD-level training appropriate for a postdoctoral research associate is implied. Applicants should be excited about mixotrophy, culture-based experimental work, marine microbial ecology, and ocean biogeochemistry. Experience with laboratory culture experiments, exponentially fed batch culture systems, and working in a collaborative multidisciplinary project is relevant.
