Post-doctoral position – Data analysis of Metabolomic data of Intertidal microphytobenthos

Funding: Brittany Region (France) and H2020 ERA-NET COFUND – Project BIO-Tide

Mentor: Dr. Cédric Hubas (Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle)

Duration: 1 months starting 01/12/2019

A postdoctoral position in microbial and chemical ecology is available immediately to work at the Concarneau Marine Station within the frame of the BIO-TIDE project (www.bio-tide.eu). The successful candidate will conduct data analysis aimed at quantifying and identifying metabolites of intertidal diatom biofilms, and the links between metabolic diversity and ecosystem function and services in intertidal sediments (primary production, sediment stability). The selected candidate will perform univariate and multivariate analyses.
