lang=EN-GB>This postdoc project concerns the recent scientific discoveries that
eukaryotic microorganisms (protists) have cosmopolitan species as well as
species with restricted biogeographies. In order to study microbial communities
it is imperative to know their taxonomic diversity. Through the use of molecular
techniques, the diversity of protists has been shown to be much higher than what
older methods indicated. Dispersal and subsequent colonization of new habitats
have important consequences for community composition. An important question is
thus whether community composition of aquatic protists is a consequence of
environmental filtering, mass effects, historical processes or a mix of the
previous processes. <BR></SPAN><FONT face=Calibri size=2><SPAN lang=EN-GB
style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri"><BR></SPAN></FONT><SPAN
lang=EN-GB>In this project, marine and freshwater protist composition will be
investigated in a <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">lake</st1:PlaceType> <st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">metacommunity</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> that includes marine-derived
and glacial melt-water lakes. Lakes operate very much as islands, imposing
certain geographic limitations to populations, as well as dispersal among
populations. In a system of remotely located (<st1:place
w:st="on">Antarctica</st1:place>) recently formed lakes, the community
composition of protists will be analyzed using 454-technology. Community
similarity will be tested for both historical (biogeographical) and
environmental effects (salinity). Samples collected from 20 Antarctic lakes on a
gradient of salinity (0-300), distance from the sea, and lake age, are available
for analyses. No travels to <st1:place w:st="on">Antarctica</st1:place> will be
conducted. <BR></SPAN><FONT face=Calibri size=2><SPAN lang=EN-GB
style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri"><BR></SPAN></FONT><SPAN
lang=EN-GB>The postdoctoral project will include sample preparation for 454
sequencing as well as bioinformatic analyses of the sequence data using publicly
available or custom made pipelines. Moreover, clonal cultures of dinoflagellates
from a subset of the lakes are available for laboratory experiments related to
the research topic.<B><SPAN

lang=EN-GB>The successful applicant is a highly motivated postdoctoral stipend
with a strong interest in protist ecology and evolution. A PhD in limnology,
marine biology, biological oceanography, microbial ecology, or equivalent, is
required. Specifically, the applicant should have substantial and
documented experience with molecular techniques (PCR, sequencing) and previous
experience of phylogenetic analyses, population genetic analyses and/or genomic
analyses. He/she preferably has experience of culturing and/or microscopy of
protists. Very good spoken and written English is required. As the postdoctoral
stipend will be part of CAnMove – Centre for Animal Movement Research, a general
interest in ecology as well as the ability to interact and collaborate with
other members is considered an important quality. <BR></SPAN><FONT face=Calibri

lang=EN-GB>To be eligible for a stipend a person must have successfully
completed a PhD degree or have corresponding scientific competence in a relevant
subject area. The applicant needs to have a PhD not older than 5 years from a
non-Swedish university and can not have been employed at <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Lund</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>. Priority should be given to
candidates who have completed their degree no more than three years before the
last date for applications. Candidates who have completed their degree earlier
than this should receive equal priority if special grounds exist, for example
documented leave of absence because of illness or parental leave.<FONT
