A graduate student position in the Department of Marine Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is available within the Marchetti Lab, specializing in the ecophysiology and molecular biology of marine phytoplankton.
The candidate will conduct laboratory and field experiments investigating the development of molecular indicators to determine the physiological status of a variety of marine phytoplankton. Environmental factors to be tested include variations in nutrient and trace metal concentrations and light as well as other parameters that will be influenced by future climate change.
All highly motivated candidates with a degree in oceanography, biology or related fields are encouraged to apply. Prior experience in trace-metal clean phytoplankton culturing, using molecular techniques and performing field experiments, and/or knowledge about phytoplankton ecology and physiology would be an asset. Familiarity with computer programming languages such as R and SQL would also be beneficial.
The position will commence in the summer/fall of 2011. Further details about the research conducted in the Marchetti Lab can be found at the following website: http://marchettilab.web.unc.edu. Requests for more information should be directed to Dr. Adrian Marchetti (amarchetti@unc.edu). Candidates interested in applying for this position are encouraged to contact Dr. Marchetti by e-mail or by phone (919-843-3473). This position will remain open until filled.
