Phd Position in Phytoplankton Ecology

vor 3 Wochen


Berlin, Deutschland Leibniz-Institut für Gewässerökologie und Binnenfischerei Vollzeit

The subproject will study preconditions of growth and toxin production of the algal strain responsible for the disaster last autumn in order to better understand and forecast such harmful algal blooms. Of special relevance is the cooperation with subprojects studying genome, gene expression and toxicity of _P. parvum_. The work will be conducted in an international team, using well-equipped laboratories and the infrastructure of a leading institute.

**Your tasks**:

- Study of the ecophysiology of specific strains of _P. parvum_
- Lab experiments to measure growth and toxin production at relevant combinations of environmental conditions
- Analysis of factors triggering toxin production
- Cooperation in the identification of toxin marker genes, in expression measurements and in population modeling
- Data evaluation, publication and presentation of results in scientific journals and at conferences

**Your profile**:

- University degree in biology, preferential in plant physiology, microbiology or aquatic ecology
- Advanced skills in statistical methods (mixed-effect models, preferably in R)
- Good command in English (and preferably also in German)

**Our offer**:
We offer an exciting and versatile job in an international, dynamic scientific working environment with opportunities for flexible working hours and mobile working. Intensive supervision and training are guaranteed.

Salary is paid according to the German salary scheme for the public service (TVöD Bund). It is a 75% position limited to three years.

We foster your **career development** by providing qualification and training opportunities. We actively support the reconciliation of work and family life. Applicants are treated equally regardless of gender. Qualified women are particularly encouraged to apply. Severely disabled applicants with equal qualification and aptitude will be given preferential consideration.
