Postdoc position in experimental growth of marine phytoplankton in Zürich

The Climate Geology Group of Prof. Heather Stoll at ETH Zurich is inviting applications for a Postdoctoral researcher to develop our research program in experimental growth of marine phytoplankton:

The Climate Geology research group is building capacity at ETH Zürich in the experimental study of adaptations of marine phytoplankton to past and future variations ocean carbon chemistry, temperature, and other environmental parameters. We will inaugurate in spring 2019 new facilities for laboratory culture of phytoplankton, focused on study of the fossilizing marine phytoplankton coccolithophorids and diatoms. The postdoctoral researcher will establish culture of marine phytoplankton, with the opportunity to set up a series of new bioreactor systems with state of the art measurement systems. ETH has exceptional analytical and microscopy facilities within and beyond the department. The research group offers work in a stimulating interdisciplinary environment and the candidate is encouraged to establish collaborations with groups in other allied departments at ETH (Microbiology, Environmental Sciences), and will also conduct research stays in laboratories of our international collaborators.

We look forward to receiving your online application including a cover letter describing the motivation of the candidate for the position, a CV including addresses of 2-3 potential referees, and a maximum two page summary of the applicant's PhD thesis and previous relevant research experience in the field and statement of research interests. Please note that we exclusively accept applications submitted through our online application portal. Applications via email or postal services will not be considered.
