Dear colleagues,

The Leibniz Association of the German Federal and State Governments

strategies for sustainable use of tropical coastal systems
(www.zmt-bremen.de).
Context: SUTAS offers a Ph.D. student position to start in March 2013
addressing the project
“Understanding the role of sponges and/or their associated microbial
communities in processing and
converting coral-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM) to particulate
organic matter (POM)”,
particularly when anthropogenically impacted (i.e. via eutrophication).
Description of PhD-position: The successful candidate will study the
production, composition, transport,
transformation and recycling of coral-derived DOM to POM by cryptic and
non-cryptic reef sponges.
Experiments will be carried out through an inter-connected series of
ecological, chemical, and
microbiological studies in the field and laboratory. The holder of the
position will be based in Coral Reef
Ecology Work Group (CORE) at ZMT and shall closely collaborate with
project partners and co-supervisors
Prof. Dr. Michael Friedrich (Microbial Ecophysiology, University of
Bremen), Prof. Dr. Peter Schupp
(Environmental Biochemistry, University of Oldenburg), and Dr. Jasper de
Goeij (University of
Amsterdam).
Requirements: The applicant should hold a Master or Diploma degree in
marine biology or ecology
and should have basic training in microbiology and reef ecology. Fluency
in the English language and

with list of publications and
skills, and names with email addresses and phone numbers of two referees
