Cyanobacteria and algae have a potential commercial value as microbial producers of fuel or products with higher value. However, in nature their blooms also are threatening health and industrial benefits. To learn more about the viability of large algal/bacterial cultures Christiane Funk´s group at Umeå University plans to study the protease family of metacaspases and … Continued

Ph.D. Position in Plant Biology The Sasso lab at the University of Leipzig in Germany offers a Ph.D. position starting at the next possible date. Activities and responsibilities Microscopic algae (microalgae) are important primary producers in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. During the sexual reproduction of many microalgae, the formation of zygotes is coupled to the … Continued

An NIH-funded postdoctoral position currently is available in the Witman lab.  We study cilia and flagella (terms here used interchangeably) to understand how they are assembled and function and why defects in specific ciliary proteins cause human diseases.  Most of our research utilizes Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, which has major advantages for studies of flagella; we also … Continued
