Job Description
We are recruiting a Researcher or Researcher (II) to engage in the following projects.
[Research Description]
(Immediately upon employment)
Deep-sea biological research at JAMSTEC has earned a global reputation through its extensive achievements on extremophiles and unique megabenthos. Our studies have revealed numerous novel microorganisms and animals, their metabolism, symbioses, evolutionary traits, and ecological roles in deep-sea environments. Despite these advances, the vast mysteries of the ocean are largely unexplored, particularly the meiofauna in the ocean, a diverse group of small (< 1 mm) eukaryotic organisms that include protists and metazoans. This meiofauna is highly diverse with metabolic versatility, making it an exciting target for studying adaptation and evolution in extreme marine environments.
We are seeking a highly motivated researcher to explore and characterize the meiofauna, including identification, isolation, and cultivation. The research will involve investigating the metabolic functions, genomic features, and evolutionary dynamics of the meiofauna.
Our research goals extend beyond characterizing meiofaunal diversity and metabolism. We aim to develop a holistic understanding of the co-evolution of life and the marine environment, elucidate the links between biogeochemical cycles and the ecosystem, and develop state-of-the-art techniques to advance our research. Ideal candidates will bring multi-disciplinary perspectives and innovative approaches.
(1) Investigation of meiofaunal diversity, metabolism, physiology, genomics, and ecological functions of meiofauna, as well as their responses to environmental change. This research will incorporate approaches from marine ecology, protistology, genomics, evolutionary biology, bioinformatics, geochemistry, microbial cultivation, and related disciplines.
(2) Development of innovative methods and techniques to support the research described in (1).
(3) Establishment of a foundation for new legacy research at JAMSTEC, emphasizing multi-disciplinary collaboration and the advancement of collaborative research initiatives.
