PhD in Microbial Functions as Indicators of Freshwater Ecosystem Stress and Recovery Across Aotearoa New Zealand Lincoln University in New Zealand

Postdoc position in spatial genomics of aquatic invertebrates at Eawag and the University of Zurich , in the Altermatt lab . The project focuses on the genomic diversity, connectivity, adaptive variation, and spatial ecology of multiple aquatic keystone species, especially EPT insects (mayflies, stoneflies, caddisflies) and amphipods . The successful candidate will establish draft genomes for selected species, generate population-level whole genome sequencing and/or ddRAD sequencing data for aro...

The Integrative Viromics Lab at the University of Calgary is recruiting MSc and PhD students to work on viral diversity in lakes, glaciers, permafrost, and other changing environments. Research projects combine metagenomics, microbial ecology, and bioinformatics to understand how climate change is reshaping microbial ecosystems. This opportunity is especially relevant for students with interests in viromics, environmental microbiology, microbial ecology, and computational biology. Strong computa...

This opportunity is especially relevant for candidates with interests in genomics , bioinformatics , biology , and data-driven analysis of complex biological systems. The post does not provide d...

Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Uppsala is advertising an open PhD position in microbial ecology and antimicrobial resistance. The project, ECOPHARM , focuses on plasmid-dependent phages and their potential role in controlling the spread of antibiotic resistance genes via conjugative plasmids. The successful candidate will investigate these viruses in aquatic ecosystems , including lake Erken and wastewater treatment plants. The research combines metagenomics , bioinformatic...

PhD opportunity in aquatic ecology , limnology , and biogeochemistry at Université du Québec à Rimouski (UQAR) , Canada. Dr. Morgan Botrel is recruiting a PhD student for a project on the ecology and biogeochemistry of lake littoral zones in eastern Québec, with a particular focus on submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) and charophytes . The selected student will lead three field seasons in lakes across the Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie regions, with a possible additional season on Anticosti Isla...
