The University of Warwick’s School of Life Sciences seeks a Postdoctoral Scientist to join our dynamic team in Coventry, UK. This exciting opportunity involves research in microbial ecology within the context of spatial organization and microbial interactions. The successful candidate will contribute to a project funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, focusing on cyanobacteria-dominated natural microbial communities.
The selected candidate will investigate the impact of structural formation on microbial interactions and their evolution within aquatic environments. Collaborating with the research group of Orkun Soyer, the focus will be on understanding the feedbacks between spatial organization and microbial interactions in cyanobacteria-dominated microbial communities.
Eligibility
We are seeking candidates with a background in microbial physiology, microbial ecology, or microbial systems biology. Proficiency in quantitative approaches is essential. Applicants should have experience in microbial culturing, microbial physiology measurements, fluorescent microscopy techniques, microfluidics, data and image analysis, and genetics.
How to Apply:
Interested candidates should submit a CV and a covering letter outlining their interest in the position and addressing how their qualifications align with the job requirements. Please include a list of publications and the contact details of two referees. Applications must be submitted through the official website to ensure uniform processing by our HR team.
