About this position

Postdoctoral Research Associate opportunity at the University of New Hampshire in Durham, New Hampshire, United States, working in the Ocean Process Analysis Laboratory on marine microbial ecology and oceanography.

The project is supervised by Kai Ziervogel and is part of an NSF-funded study on nutrient-mediated interactions between plastic-derived DOC and the biological carbon pump. Research activities include bioassays with natural microbial communities from the Gulf of Maine, experiments with cultured bacteria, assessment of microbial utilization of plastic leachates, and analysis of growth-limiting nutrient cycling.

Laboratory work will be carried out under controlled conditions in replicate 1-L glass bottles in an environmental chamber. Analytical work includes bacterial cell counts using flow cytometry, hydrolytic enzyme activity measurements, nutrient analysis, data analysis, and preparation of a peer-reviewed publication.

Eligibility highlights: a PhD in oceanography is required, together with experience in hydrolytic enzyme activity measurements and bacterial cell abundance. Applicants should also have experience planning and conducting bioassay experiments with plastic leachates using natural microbial assemblages and working with bacterial cultures using aseptic techniques.

Funding: the role is supported by external sponsor funding and pays $66,000/year. Continued employment depends on the availability of those external funds.

How to apply: submit the application online through Workday via the Jobs Hub app. Upload a CV/resume and cover letter. USNH employees should apply within Workday through the Jobs Hub app.

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
