Job title PhD Candidate in Parasite and Plankton Behavioural Biology and Ecology. Company Department of Biology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Description of the job The Department of Biology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim offers a PhD position at the Marine Sciences section, within the research group "Fish parasites, health and welfare". The PhD project will focus on behaviour and ecophysiology of sea lice and selected zooplankton species. There is a large focus on the parasitic salmon louse, as it causes large problems for the Norwegian aquaculture industry. The group collaborates closely with the aquaculture industry through the "Research platform Taskforce salmon lice" and works with a variety of research projects. In addition to salmon lice, the group focuses on fish health and welfare, as well as zooplankton biology and ecology. The project will include methodological developments as well...

Job title PostDoc Position in Cellular Signaling in Photosymbiosis. Company Helmholtz Institute for Functional Marine Biodiversity (HIFMB), in institutional cooperation between the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) and the Carl von Ossietzky University in Oldenburg. Description of the job HIFMB is seeking a curiosity-driven postdoctoral researcher to join the newly established Photosymbiosis Focus Group. The candidate will combine state-of-the-art OMICS approaches, cell biology, and advanced imaging to dissect the cellular signaling and regulatory networks that control photosymbiosis between cnidarian hosts and their microalgal symbionts. Photosymbioses between heterotrophic hosts and phototrophic endosymbionts have played central roles in the radiation of complex life and are critical to global nutrient cycles. Yet, global change is pushing these symbioses and the ecosystems they support to the brink of ecological collapse. This position is embedded in the...
