Va­can­cies

The Max-Planck-In­sti­tute for Mar­ine Mi­cro­bi­o­logy em­ploys over 130 full time aca­demic and about 70 non-aca­demic staff. The In­sti­tute in­vest­ig­ates the role, vari­ety and char­ac­ter­ist­ics of mi­croor­gan­isms that oc­cur in aquatic en­vir­on­ments, i.e. the sea, and which are re­spons­ible in a de­cis­ive way for geo­chem­ical pro­cesses. A fo­cus of the re­search lies on mar­ine sed­i­ments, which are sites of par­tic­u­larly in­tense and var­ied mi­cro­bial pro­cesses. For the meas­ure­ment of com­pounds at the sur­face and in­side the sed­i­ment high spa­tial res­ol­u­tion ana­lyt­ical tech­niques are ap­plied.
