About this position
Anna Karnkowska (Associate Professor, University of Warsaw) is advertising a 3-year postdoctoral position in the PERKFresh project, an NCN/GACR-funded collaboration led together with Elisabeth H. (Biology Centre CAS). The project investigates the diversity, ecology, and host–parasite interactions of Perkinsea in freshwater ecosystems.
This postdoc is a strong fit for researchers interested in microbial eukaryotes, freshwater ecology, evolutionary biology, protistology, parasitology, environmental sequencing, and bioinformatics. The work combines multiple approaches, including fieldwork in the Masurian Lakeland, long-read metabarcoding, CARD-FISH, bioinformatics, single-cell transcriptomics, phylogenomics, and laboratory infection experiments.
The post is based at the University of Warsaw, Poland. The announcement highlights that applicants do not need experience in every method area; relevant background in protistology/parasitology, freshwater biology, environmental sequencing, or bioinformatics is welcomed, along with curiosity and an interest in interdisciplinary research.
Start date: January 2027 or later. Application deadline: 6 November 2026. Interested candidates should review the full advertisement and application instructions on EURAXESS via the provided link.
