One of the challenges in ecology is to understand and predict how ecosystems are impacted by changes in environmental conditions and external pressures. This challenge is urgent given the unprecedented rate of global change in climate, land use, and urbanisation. To do so, we need to transform the way we do ecological research.

We are looking for applicants with a PhD degree in microbe-plant interactions and microbial ecology. Integrating and analyzing microbiome, transcriptomic and metabolomic data forms a key component of the work. Experience with GC-MS data analysis is required.

In this internship project, we will explore how newly developed software for image analysis based on state-of-the-art deeplearning methods may contribute to the analysis of zooplankton samples.

Toxic cyanobacterial blooms threaten freshwater quality, exacerbated by climate change and eutrophication. The toxicity of these blooms depends not only on cyanobacteria quantity but also on the presence of potentially toxin-producing species and genotypes, and the variation in their toxin production. While we understand the individual factors driving these changes, contrasting effects on different components of bloom toxicity make predicting toxicity levels challenging.

Ben je analytisch sterk, kun jij processen coördineren en hierover afstemmen met verschillende actoren? Denk je in oplossingen en houd je ervan processen met strategieën te verbinden? En doe jij dit graag vanuit een leidinggevende rol in een klein hecht team dat onderzoekers ondersteunt? Dan zijn wij op zoek naar jou!
