We are looking for a postdoc to explore the physiology of sponges in relationship to the oxygen content of the environment. This work will be primarily experimental (although fieldwork would likely be involved) and will consider how external oxygen concentration influences sponge behavior including the quantification of oxygen cycling within the sponge. We have some established methods to explore internal oxygen concentrations in two dimensions, but we anticipate further development of technology to obtain a 3-D view. This work is coupled to understanding how oxygen concentrations might have impacted sponge evolution, but it is also highly relevant to understanding how environmental deoxygenation might impact sponge survival in the future. In addition, the postdoc might also explore the physiological reasons as to how and why sponges regulate their internal oxygen concentrations.
The postdoc will work within a research group of approximately 8-10 people funded by the Villum Foundation, where research is focused on exploring the relationship between the evolution of life and the evolution of the Earth surface environment. This group as part of the bigger Nordcee (www.nordcee.dk) group of the Biology Department of the University of Southern Denmark.
We are seeking a highly motivated applicant with a strong interest in animal physiology and a knack for experimental design. Experience in molecular techniques and an interest in diving are a plus.
The position is for 2 years with possibility for renewal.
Application deadline: 22 January 2024.
