Postdoctoral Fellow
Postdoctoral Researcher- Biomineralization in Algae Full-time
A postdoctoral position is available at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to work on elucidating the molecular mechanisms of biomineralization in algae.
We are experts in the research of plant and algal biology entering this new and exciting research area as part of a multi-disciplinary team of scientists encompassing biology, chemistry, materials science, electron microscopy and nanofabrication. This gives us the unique opportunity to pursue fundamental understanding of the molecular mechanisms with which diatoms produce their silica cell walls while contributing to its translation: to build a research infrastructure that allows for manipulating diatom frustules, quantification of the changes, and testing of their function. Our group is committed to a diverse and nurturing research environment where different ideas are openly shared and strongly encouraged. The lab is located on the UC-Berkeley campus in the San Francisco Bay Area, the heart of an inspiring and exciting research environment.
The applicant should have (or about to have) a PhD in Biology, Molecular Biology, Plant or Algal Biology or related areas within life sciences. We seek applicants excited to work and learn in a multi-disciplinary team with excellent oral and written communication skills. Expert knowledge and experience in genetic manipulation and in the biology of diatoms and/or other algae and a strong background in molecular biology, microbiology, cell biology, or ‘omics data generation and analysis will be a strong advantage for the position. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
