The aim of the project is to study how freshwater bacterial communities respond to altered levels of solar radiation with special focus on growth and survival of pathogenic bacteria. Aquatic bacteria play a key role in biogeochemical cycles and recycling of organic matter. Many aquatic bacteria also affect man by causing infectious disease and by modifying the aquatic environments (e.g. cyanobacterial blooms). Hence there is considerable interest in identifying environmental factors that shape and control the composition and function of natural bacterial communities. The project is to a large extent based on quantitative and culture-independent molecular tools. The overall goal is to improve our understanding of how future environmental changes that directly or indirectly control light climate in surface waters may influence water quality.
The successful applicant should have an academic degree in biology, environmental science, biotechnology or other relevant field. Applicants with previous experience in microbiology, molecular biology and aquatic sciences are particularly encouraged to apply.
