 Ph.D. position in algal biotechnology PhD position - 3 years (m/f/d) Algal biotechnology Leipzig University, Faculty of Life Sciences, Institute of Biology, Plant Physiology group of Prof. Severin Sasso, Leipzig, Germany Start: 1 July 2024 Deadline: 7 May 2024 The Plant Physiology group at the Institute of Biology, Leipzig University, offers a Ph.D. position (Promotionsstelle) starting from 1 July 2024, subject to formal funding approval. Activities and responsibilities The unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii secretes substantial amounts of glycolate under photorespiratory conditions (Taubert et al., Plant Biotechnol. J. 17, 1538-1546 (2019)). As glycolate is an important industrial chemical, its production in a photosynthetic microorganism opens up the long-term potential to establish a biotechnological industry based on renewable resources. The aim of a new third-party-funded project is to improve glycolate secretion. For this purpose, we want to use physical mutagenesis (e.

Post-doctoral fellow (M/F) in genetics and/or biochemistry of photosynthesis || Post doc vacancy in phycology || Algae academic vacancies

 Post Doc in Chloroplast Biology and Light-sensing in Microalgae Department Post-doctoral fellow (M/F) in genetics and/or biochemistry of photosynthesis We offer a post-doctoral position for up to 3 years in the scope of a National Research Agency (ANR)-funded project. We aim to understand the molecular events taking place upon Photosystem II damage. This is a multidisciplinary and collaborative program, and we are looking specifically for someone with experience in membrane protein biochemistry and/or genetics and mutagenesis. PhD in biology, chemistry, physics, and related topics is a requirement. There is no strict deadline for the application, but the earliest starting date is May 2023. Make sure your candidate profile is correctly completed before applying. Your profile information complements that associated with each job application. In order to increase your visibility on our Job Portal and thus allow recruiters to consult your candidate profile, you have the possibility of d

Post-doctoral position in genetics and molecular biology of a metal-tolerant green microalga || Post doc vacancy in phycology || Algae academic vacancies

Post doc vacancy in phycology || Algae academic vacancies  A 2-year post-doctoral position funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR) is available starting September 2023 at the Laboratory of Plant & Cell Physiology (LPCV) in Grenoble, France ( https://www.lpcv.fr/en ). The candidate will work in the Metal Stress team to develop molecular and genetic tools to analyze the response and adaptation to metals of a newly isolated metal-tolerant green microalga. Pollution of ecosystems by trace metal elements is a major and ever-growing threat to environmental and human health. A better understanding of the effects of metals on plants and microalgae is critical to develop approaches for treating contaminated environments using phytoremediation and phycoremediation. The characterization of organisms that tolerate and accumulate metals is essential to reach this objective as these organisms evolved sophisticated molecular mechanisms to cope with toxic elements.
