[Lista-Algas] postdoc position

[Andres Boltovskoy]

A three year position, starting September/October 2007 at the University of Essex, U.K., is available for a postdoctoral researcher to conduct analyses on the production, characterisation and novel roles of sea-ice diatom exopolymers (EPS). 



The project 'Production, characterisation and novel roles of sea-ice diatom exopolymers (EPS)' will be a combination of biochemical characterisation of EPS from Antarctic sea ice samples, physiological experiments with sea ice diatoms, and determining properties of EPS produced by diatoms under conditions experienced in sea ice. There is the possibility of field work in the Arctic or Antarctic.  Based in Essex, the project is a collaborative NERC-funded study between Prof. Graham Underwood (Essex), Prof. David Thomas (Bangor) and Dr John Hallsworth, (Queens, Belfast), and some travel between locations will be required. 



Applicants must have (or have recently submitted) a Ph.D. in a relevant life science, and preference will be given to applicants with experience in microalgal biology, microbiology, carbohydrate chemistry or analytical water chemistry. 



Appointment to this full-time fixed term post will be made in the range £25,134 -£29,139 per annum, depending on skills and experience.



Closing Date:  31 July 2007
