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.

Funding details

3-year postdoctoral position funded by an NCN/GACR project (PERKFresh).

What's required

Candidates should have experience in protistology/parasitology, freshwater biology, environmental sequencing, or bioinformatics. Experience in all listed areas is not required; curiosity and willingness to work across multiple approaches are emphasized.

How to apply

Read the full advertisement and application details on EURAXESS. Submit the application through the linked EURAXESS posting before the deadline.
