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.

Funding details

The position is a full-time (100%, suitable for part-time) postdoctoral appointment for three years, remunerated at pay grade E13 TV-L. University benefits include 30 days of vacation, a company pension scheme, further education opportunities, flexible working hours, health management, remote working, childcare support, university sports, and corporate benefits.

What's required

Applicants must hold a qualifying university degree at Master or Diploma level and a PhD in microbiology, cell biology, proteomics, or a related field. Relevant research experience is essential. Knowledge of general physiology and experience with OMICS methods and image analysis are desirable. Applicants must be fluent in written and spoken English and demonstrate strong interest in multidisciplinary teamwork across the MAlSyB consortium.

How to apply

Prepare a cover letter, CV, and qualifying documents including final degree records, combine them into a single PDF, and email the application to Prof. Dr. Ralf Rabus at [email protected] by 15 November 2026.
