Who are we? The Beinart lab is part of University of Rhode Island’s Graduate School of Oceanography, located right on the coast in Narragansett, RI USA. We study the ecology and evolution of marine microbial symbioses using ‘omics, experiments, and other methods. We are an inclusive group that welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds, identities, and experiences and values collaboration, authenticity, and mutual respect. Learn more about us at Beinartlab.com.
What is the project? The Beinart lab is part of a new Human Frontier Science Program project with Courtney Stairs (Lund U.) and Filip Husnik (OIST) to study anaerobic protist symbioses called “Deciphering the Evolution, Cellular Biology and Biogeochemistry of Symbioses in Anaerobic Eukaryotes”. The focus in our lab will be on anaerobic ciliates and their methanogen symbionts from marine sediments. Who are we looking for? We are looking for a postdoc to join this project in-person sometime between March-Sept. 2025 who has interest and experience in microbial ecology, anaerobic microbiology (including cultivation), archaeal biology, protistology, symbiosis, and/or microbial ‘omics. The postdoc will contribute to project goals related to understanding the ecology, physiology, evolutionary history, and cell biology of anaerobic ciliate symbioses using ‘omics, microscopy, and/or physiological experiments. At least two years of funding plus benefits is available. How do I get in touch? Please email Roxanne Beinart, rbein...@uri.edu, with 1) a cover letter summarizing your experience and interests and 2) current CV with contact info for at least two references by December 15, 2024.
