About this position
The University of Oldenburg is offering a postdoctoral research position in microalgal systems biology within the Institute for Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment (ICBM), part of the School of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. The position is based in the General and Molecular Microbiology group led by Prof. Ralf Rabus.
The researcher will join the Lower Saxony collaborative project Marine Algal Systems Biology (MAlSyB), a consortium involving the Universities of Oldenburg, Hannover, Braunschweig, and Göttingen, together with the DSMZ in Braunschweig. MAlSyB investigates the globally distributed, bloom-forming marine dinoflagellate Prorocentrum cordatum, a unicellular model microalga notable for its distinctive cell biology, photosynthetic apparatus, and highly complex genome.
The project integrates physiology, cell biology, systems biology, and evolution to understand how marine microalgae adapt to climate-driven environmental change. The researcher will investigate how changing nutrient regimes influence the physiological performance of P. cordatum.
Key activities include tailored microalgal cultivation, analysis of cell biological dynamics using FIB/SEM, and examination of photosynthetic protein complexes through BN-PAGE coupled with mass spectrometry. Findings will be integrated with proteomic data concerning the respiratory apparatus and with systems-biology data generated across the MAlSyB consortium.
The postdoctoral researcher will play an active and integrative role in a multidisciplinary marine research environment spanning microbiology, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematical modelling, proteomics, and environmental systems science.
