Two postdoctoral positions in experimental and computational microbiology

The Eukaryotic microbiology group at the Centre Algatech, Institute of Microbiology in Trebon, Czech Republic is seeking two post-doctoral fellow researchers, one in Experimental microbiology and another in Computational genomics. The group, led by Jan Janouskovec, is under the umbrella of Laboratory of Photosynthesis and works on the understanding of diversity, evolution and ecology of protists, algae and cyanobacteria (e.g., Janouskovec et al., 2017, PNAS 114(2); Janouskovec et al., 2017 Curr Biol 27(23); Janouskovec et al., 2019, eLife 8, e49662). The two positions will focus on characterizing novel metabolic pathways in mitochondria and plastids of protists and algae, and their importance to cell biology, organismal interactions and eukaryotic evolution, by computational (bioinformatics and genomics) and molecular methods (genetic transformation, in-situ localization, metabolite profiling, expression analysis, compound radiolabelling).
