The Marine Biological Laboratory is seeking a post-doctoral scientist to provide analysis of ocean-based experiments and to perform at-sea experimentation. The project focuses on interactions between microbes at the biochemical level and the degradation of algal biomass. Ultimate goals are to refine our understanding of phytoplankton communities and forces regulating relative contributions to carbon fixation, export, and processing in the deep sea.

Qualifications:
We are looking for an outstanding individual with demonstrated interest in working at the interface between evolutionary and biological sciences. This individual should have both seagoing and bioinformatic skills, and be a strong team-player with excellent communication skills. An interest in developing knowledge of marine microbial populations and ecology is essential, if not already a developed knowledge area. We will offer an attractive salary and benefits package, commensurate with experience. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in a biological or computational field.
Term:
The appointment will be for two years with extension possible depending on performance, ideally beginning December 2025.
Application deadline: October 5, 2025
