The Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology is seeking a Post-Doctoral Researcher to investigate the diversity of glycans and glycan-modifying enzymes in giant viruses. The research will focus on viral glycan assembly during infection processes in cultured flagellates. The successful candidate will employ fluorescent labeling, microscopy, and siRNA gene silencing techniques, collaborating with chemists and bioinformaticians. Applicants should hold a PhD in Microbiology or related fields and have experience in molecular biology, microbial ecology, and computational genome analysis.
