Postdoctoral Research Fellow position at the Michael Sars Centre, University of Bergen, in the Čapek group. The project, Mechanisms of temperature robustness in fish embryos , asks how fish embryos maintain coordinated development when temperature changes the rates of molecular and cellular processes. The successful candidate will investigate how temperature influences developmental signalling and gene expression, and how these responses connect to cell-fate specification, tissue organisation an...

About this position

We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Marine Plankton Biology at the Department of Biosciences, University of Oslo, Norway. This is a full-time, temporary postdoctoral appointment (37.5 hours per week) associated with the ToxANoWa II project: Toxic microalgae in Norwegian waters — Providing knowledge and methods necessary for monitoring of algal toxins and algae harmful to fish.

The project is funded by the Norwegian Seafood Research Fund (FHF) and aims to improve knowledge of algal toxins harmful to fish, their production, and their toxic effects in Norwegian coastal waters. A major goal is also to develop faster and improved methods for monitoring toxins and harmful algae linked to fish mortality in aquaculture.

ToxANoWa II is organized into five scientific work packages covering: characterization of microalgal communities, algal toxins and metabolomes in field samples from harmful algal bloom-affected areas; toxicity, toxins and metabolomes in cultures of potentially fish-toxic algae from Norwegian waters; potential screening methods for monitoring algae and their toxins in relation to fish mortality; toxicity of C. leadbeateri cultures and leadbeaterins in fish and gill cells; and production of toxin reference materials. The successful candidate and UiO will contribute to all work packages except the last.

The project is collaborative and involves partners from Norway (Veterinary Institute and University of Oslo), Denmark (DTU), Canada (NRC), and New Zealand (Cawthron). Collaboration with all partners is expected, and a research stay abroad is encouraged. Parts of the work will be carried out at the University of Oslo’s Biological Station in Drøbak and at the Veterinary Institute in Ås.

Applicants should hold a PhD or equivalent in biological sciences. The post is especially relevant for researchers with interests in marine plankton biology, microalgae, harmful algal blooms, algal toxin analysis, metabolomics, toxicity testing, and methods development for environmental monitoring and aquaculture-related problems.

The application deadline is 17 November 2026 at 23:00 (Europe/Oslo). Applications should be submitted through the Jobbnorge vacancy page.
