About this position

Two funded PhD positions are available in Kenneth Dumack’s group at the University of Koblenz, Germany, investigating an unusual photosynthetic rhizarian and its complex plastid.

The projects aim to determine how the plastid was acquired and how this organelle is integrated into the eukaryotic cell. One PhD project centers on evolutionary genomics and bioinformatic physiology, offering a computational perspective on plastid evolution and cellular function.

The second project focuses on cell biology, microscopy and experimental work, providing an opportunity to study the organism and its organelle through laboratory-based approaches. The research sits at the intersection of protist biology, aquatic ecology, eukaryotic microbiology, algal research, genomics and phycology.

Doctoral researchers will join the research environment of the University of Koblenz and contribute to understanding plastid evolution and interactions within complex microbial eukaryotic cells.

Funding details

Both PhD positions are funded for 3 years at 65% TV-L E13.
