About this position

Scientific Research Fellowship (BIPD) 111/2026 is a postdoctoral research opportunity in the ResilCrops project, a cross-border R&D initiative focused on Harnessing Circular Economy to Improve Crop Resilience in the Atlantic Area. The fellowship is hosted at the Centre for Marine Sciences (CCMar), within the Faculty of Sciences and Technology, University of Algarve, and is embedded in the Laboratory of Marine Microbial Ecology and Biotechnology.

The selected fellow will contribute to experimental work at the interface of marine microbiology, microbial ecology, and plant-microbe interactions. The project involves collecting marine macrophytes and isolating microorganisms from them, including oomycetes, fungi, and bacteria. The research also includes cultivating marine bacteria to explore their production of bioactive compounds, identifying microorganisms using molecular approaches, and running pathogenicity assays on plants with selected bacterial strains to test antagonistic activity against pathogens.

The role is situated in a research environment that combines laboratory and project-based scientific work, with outputs contributing to reports and scientific articles. The work is carried out under the direct scientific supervision of Dr. Aschwin Hillebrand Engelen, within a team at CCMar that also includes the broader evaluation and supervisory context of the University of Algarve.

The fellowship is explicitly framed as a postdoctoral research grant supporting scientific research activities in biological sciences.
