hela Sverige 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 the result of a merger between Kalmar University and Växjö University. Together we will be creating a new, exciting university with 31 000 students and 2 000 employees. Linnaeus University will be a modern, international university in the Småland region of Sweden, where people can grow to reach their potential. For more information see: Lnu.se
The School of Natural Sciences is part of the Faculty of Science and Engineering. The research activities within this multidisciplinary school include the areas of Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Biomedical Sciences, Organic Chemistry, Marine Ecology and Microbiology.
Project title:
Molecular mechanisms for bacterial carbon cycling in the sea.
The research project:
Bacteria are major drivers of biogeochemical cycles in the sea, but molecular detail on how they impact on particular element cycles remains largely unknown. The Ph.D. study will investigate the role of marine bacterioplankton in carbon cycling by deciphering the genetic basis for organic carbon utilization. The research strategy includes enrichment experiments to examine which genes are differentially expressed in genome-sequenced marine model bacteria and natural marine bacterial assemblages exposed to ecologically relevant carbon compounds. Field studies will be done to determine the links between bacterioplankton community composition and differentiation in (meta-)genomically encoded carbon compound metabolisms. Analyses will involve state-of-the-art techniques in microbiology and molecular biology (e.g. gene expression analyses by next-generation sequencing methodologies).
• Requirements:
Basic requirements for post-graduate studies are laid out in the Swedish Higher Education Ordinance (Högskoleförordningen), Chapter 7. The PhD studies are limited to 4 years (100%). Persons with combined experience in marine microbial ecology, molecular biology (preferably also experience with transcriptomics work) and bioinformatics are encouraged to apply. The starting point for the PhD education is flexible and may be negotiated.
