This project is part of an ERC Consolidator grant (PlastidOrigin) awarded to F. Burki that aims to study one of the most transformative events in eukaryote evolution–the origin of the photosynthetic organelles (the primary plastids) in Archaeplastida. The main aim of this postdoc position is to produce a protein atlas for each organelle of chosen red algale and glaucophyte species using whole-cell spatial proteomics with the hyperLOPIT method. By combining this data to verified proteomes for other archaeplastids, and by searching for homologues in other eukaryotes and prokaryotes, we want to characterize the origin of plastid proteins and the size of the endosymbiotic vs non-endosymbiotic plastid proteomic fractions across archaeplastids.

We are now looking for a qualified and motivated postdoctoral researcher who will perform experiments in vivo in mice models of abdominal aortic aneurysms, predominantly using angiotensin II, to evaluate certain genes influence on the disease. Standard molecular biology techniques such as qPCR, immunohistology, western blotting and more are available in the laboratory. In addition, the duties will include breeding of mice, writing of articles and grants, as well as presenting findings at national and international conferences. The duties will include lab maintenance, and may include teaching for the interested applicant. An individualized postdoc training program will be provided and you will be offered additional training for techniques you are not familiar with.

This is a cross disciplinary project involving biogeochemistry and physical chemistry. Dissolved and colloidal organic matter (DOM) is the largest pool of organic matter in the water column of oceans and inland waters, and in soils and sediments it is also the major interface between dead organic matter and the microbes that mineralize it. The factors that limit the persistence of DOM currently receives large scientific interest, as they are important regulators of the global carbon cycle. Constraints on microbial degradation of DOM may include several factors, including the ability of microbes and their extracellular enzymes to reach the relevant sites in the organic matter, depending on steric hindrance. One cause of steric hindrance may be the aggregation of molecules, whereby enzyme sites are embedded inside organic colloids or particles. This project investigates how the ability of microbes to degrade the DOM depends on to what extent molecules are aggregated. The project is hosted by the biogeochemistry research group in the limnology research program at Uppsala University (https://www.ieg.uu.se/limnology/research/biogeochemistry/) in close collaboration with research groups on microbial ecology (https://portal.research.lu.se/en/organisations/microbial-ecology) and physical chemistry (https://www.physchem.lu.se/) at Lund University.

We are seeking a researcher highly motivated for postdoctoral research with a strong interest in microbiology and infectious diseases. The focus will be on projects related to bacterial genomics and phylogeny as well as antibiotic resistance and one of the main organisms we work with is Campylobacter spp. The work involves practical microbiological laboratory work (‘wet lab’) as well as a significant portion of bioinformatic analysis, such as sequence data analysis. Animal experiments involving birds may be part of the tasks. You will be involved in several projects within the research group, taking a leading role in some and providing bioinformatic support in others. Several projects will address the intersection of human, animal, and environment.
