Lab Assistant Role in Marine Chronobiology at the Alfred-Wegener-Institut
The position will be located in the AWI section “Polar Biological Oceanography”, working group “Marine Chronobiology”. The focus of the advertised position is on the investigation of internal clocks and the control of biological rhythms in marine invertebrates (copepod Calanus, bristle worm Platynereis). Specifically, molecular and genetic analyses shall be used to generate an initial functional understanding of the “clock genes” period and timeless. Copepods have a key role in pelagic food webs and they perform daily and seasonal vertical migrations. Platynereis worms use their internal clocks to synchronize their reproduction with the lunar cycle. Find out more and apply here
