Vacant position: Researcher on Sea Ice Microbial Diversity & Molecular Genetics
A position as a Researcher on the study of microbial (i.e. algae, bacteria, fungi) taxonomic and functional (prokaryotic) diversity in the sea ice biome is available at The Department of Arctic and Marine Biology (AMB), Micro-SHIFT. The position is affiliated with the Arctic Marine System Ecology research group and the European Research Council Starting Grant project Micro-SHIFT.
The vacancy is temporary for two years and three months from spring 2025. The workplace is at UiT in Tromsø. You must be able to start in the position between March and December 2025.
About Micro-SHIFT - Microbial life of Sea ice Habitats Investigated for The Arctic:
The project will comprehensively assess the biodiversity and productivity of microorganisms living in association with sea ice in the Arctic. It will evaluate the potential for these microbial communities to acclimate to environmental change. The project is based within the Laboratory for Sea Ice Biome Research (iSI-Bio) at UiT The Arctic University of Norway.
