On 1st January 2010, Linnaeus University opened its doors for the first time as Sweden's newest university, the result of a merger between Kalmar University and Växjö University.Linnaeus University is a modern, international university in southern Sweden. The university is situated in Kalmar and Växjö with 34,000 students and 2,000 employees. For more information see: Lnu.se

The Department of Biology and Environmental Science is part of the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences. The research activities within this multidisciplinary school include the areas of Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Biomedical Sciences, Organic Chemistry, Marine Ecology and Microbiology.

The marine microbiology research group seeks a Post Doctoral researcher for studies of the functional genomics of marine bacteria. The position is for 1 year (60% of full time), with possibility for a one-year extension, and located in Kalmar.

Project title: Functional genomics for carbon cycling of marine planktonic bacteria.

The research project: Marine bacteria play a central role in driving global biogeochemical cycles of elements essential to life (e.g. carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous), but detailed knowledge of how bacteria carry out specific steps in element cycling is lacking. The main goal of this project is to investigate the molecular mechanisms employed by marine bacteria to utilize dissolved organic carbon compounds. Work will include research on the functional genomics of bacterioplankton using bioinformatics analysis of genome-sequenced marine bacteria and metagenomic/-transcriptomic datasets from natural bacterial assemblages.

Applicants should have a doctoral degree in marine or general microbiology, bioinformatics, molecular biology or biochemistry or similar. Applicants should have documented expertise in bioinformatics/computational biology to infer the physiology and ecology of environmental microorganisms. Experience with assessing the microbial biodiversity in natural samples using next-generation sequencing methodologies is well appreciated. The starting point for the position is April 15th 2013.

For further information please contact Jarone Pinhassi, jarone.pinhassi@lnu.se , +46-480-446212, or Personnel Officer Therese Gullander, therese.gullander@lnu.se , +46-480-446996. Union representatives may be contacted via the university operator at +46-772-288000.

Application has to be registered no later than April 7th 2013. Mark your application with reference number PA 2013/134-2.2.1.

The application (in English) should contain a CV, documentations of exams and grades, the name of two references (with telephone number and e-mail), a description of motivation and experience relevant to the research project and any other documentation that the applicant would like to present.
