(MERI) Natural adaptation of extremophile microalgae to acid mine drainage environments through experimental evolution

University of Manchester
School of Earth and Environmental Sciences

Research Group: Ecology and Evolution

Dr J Pittman, Dr C Knight

Application Deadline: 6 February 2019

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Biophysics of light-induced motility in microalgae

University of Warwick
Department of Physics

Dr M Polin

Applications accepted all year round

At a glance. The project focusses on the mechanisms by which motile microalgae (prominent e.g. within phytoplankton) sense, elaborate and respond to light.

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Microalgae, biofilms and microplastics: An interdisciplinary approach to understanding the resuspension and transport of microplastics and the effects on ecosystem functions.

University of Auckland
Institute of Marine Science

Dr J Hope, Prof SF Thrush

Application Deadline: 31 March 2019

The Institute of Marine Science (IMS) and the School of Environment at the University of Auckland are looking for an excellent and highly motivated scientist with keen interests in the fundamental processes that may affect the distribution and fate of microplastics and their effect on various soft sediment ecosystem functions.

Investigating Photosynthesis in Nannochloropsis – An Important Algal Genus for Biofuel Production

University of Sheffield
Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology

Dr D J Gilmour

Applications accepted all year round

One of the key insights from phylogenetic studies of eukaryotic microorganisms is the enormous diversity within the microalgal group with green algae being similar to plants and other groups such as diatoms being very different.
