Offer Description
The postdoctoral project is part of the pan-European project BIOcean5D, that investigate marine biodiversity across spatio-temporal scales, and along gradients of human impacts.
We announce a 30-month (2,5 years) postdoctoral research position at NORCE Climate & Environment in Bergen, Norway, which may be extended.
The successful candidate will contribute to BIOcean5D by mining large-scale metagenomics datasets of plankton and sediment biodiversity, to analyse the patterns of marine biodiversity from the sunlit surface to the deep-ocean floor. The main objective is to get a better understanding of the plankton communities that contribute most to carbon sequestration in the deep ocean. Another objective is to develop a better understanding of diverse and inconspicuous deep-sea benthic biodiversity using omics methods.
We are therefore seeking a highly motivated candidate to strengthen our enthusiastic, cross-disciplinary research group in Molecular Ecology and Paleogenomics (MEP) that develop and apply molecular tools to address research questions in environmental biomonitoring and (paleo)oceanography. We will particularly appreciate keen interest and experience in microbial community ecology, environmental genomics, phylogenetics, and bioinformatics. Applicants are expected to have solid programming expertise for bioinformatics, statistics, and data visualization, as well as good writing skills. A previous experience in producing omics data (especially metagenomic) would be highly appreciated, but not mandatory.
Starting date: June / July 2024.
We offer:
For the right candidate we offer:
- A unique opportunity to strengthen an enthusiastic research group working across disciplines in Bergen, Norway
- A stimulating and professionally challenging working environment
- Involvement in the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research (https://bjerknes.uib.no/en/frontpage ), with around 200 scientists from 37 countries, it is one of the leading climate research centres in Europe.
- Salary in accordance with the Civil Service pay grade table scale for PDRA
- Excellent welfare benefits
