Diatoms of North AmericaThe
Kroth lab is studying different aspects of diatoms focusing on
metabolism, photoreceptors, and genetic modification of diatoms, as well
as the interaction of diatoms with bacteria. We are seeking a Postdoc
with a background in algal physiology and molecular biology with a focus
on diatom model systems. He/She should show enthusiasm for tackling
biological questions by studying molecular aspects of diatoms regarding
their physiology, biochemistry/metabolism, cell biology, or evolution.
The researcher will be based in the group of Prof. Peter Kroth at the
Department of Biology and is expected to support the group in
teaching/supervision of students, as well as lab management. The
position is intended as a qualification step for young Postdocs to build
their own independent academic career by creating their own projects
and generating their own project funding, all in collaboration with the
existing projects of the group.
