Position Overview

Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences is seeking a postdoctoral scientist to participate in an NSF funded study addressing the relationship of mixotrophy with cell size and morphology. The successful candidate will lead a series of laboratory growth and grazing experiments that use stable isotope analysis to discern the nutrient acquisition pathways – photosynthesis versus phagotophy – that mixotroph species employ under a gradient of growth-limiting conditions. The work will be part of a collaborative project involving research groups from two different institutions. Review of candidates will begin on May 1^st, 2023 and the position will remain open until filled. The
