From Diatom-L
 
We are looking for candidates to fill a postdoc position that is fully funded for two years (48 months) on the project TurtleBIOME (for more information visit http://www.turtlebiome.biol.pmf.hr/ and associated social networks sites) that explores surface (carapace and skin) and endozoic microbiota of loggerhead sea turtles in the Mediterranean Sea, starting Jan/Feb 2020 at Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, Croatia.

Details on the job can be found here: https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/458313. The appropriate candidate should have a research experience in isolation and establishment of cultures of microorganisms and their molecular and morphological characterization (bacteria, cyanobacteria, diatoms or fungi), metagenomic analyses of microbial communities, laboratory skills in the field of molecular biology and microscopy, field research experience, bioinformatics analyses of metagenomic data, knowledge of working in operating system Linux and the software package "R" and the knowledge of English in speech and writing.

The detail in the published call that “Foreign citizens should provide evidence of the knowledge of the Croatian language” has been removed from the call specifications, so only knowledge of English language is required. The call is open until 27 November 2019 and for full consideration, applications have to be submitted via regular mail to following address: Faculty of Science, Deanery (Humane resources), Horvatovac 102a, Zagreb, Croatia. However, potential candidates should contact me before directly and send their mail of interest and curriculum vitae to Suncika Bosak (contact us for e-mail address).

The role of geology behind diatom communities

Geological setting in Finland The last glaciation, approximately 10 000 years ago, eroded and deposited material leaving behind a landscape full of glacial landforms in northern Europe. These landforms include thick layers of basal tills, glaciofluvial eskers, and moraines, to name a few. The retreating glacier also left behind a multitude of lakes in Finland. These lakes are often shallow and elongated in the direction of the ice flow. A majority of the lakes are located in central-eastern Finland, called the Finnish Lake District, where a relatively coarse-grained basal till covers most of the land surface. These tills deposited under actively flowing ice lobes that flushed away the finer materials. However, in the intersection of two actively flowing ice lobes, a passive interlobate area formed. This wedge-shaped area pierces central Finland in a NW-SE direction and is characterized by fine-grained basal till. The coastal areas of Finland, on the other hand, were under water ...

Diatom(s) of the Month - November 2017: the recently-digitized Diatom New Taxon File (DNTF) at the Academy of Natural Sciences

by Alison Minerovic* What is the “DNTF”? The Diatom New Taxon File, or “DNTF”, is a digitized card catalog of all published diatom names, along with original descriptions, images, and literature citations of taxa published since 1933. It serves as a resource for diatom scientists, taxonomists, systematists, students, and enthusiasts! Figure 1 . DNTF Homepage (from 25 September 2017). The original card catalog lives in the Diatom Herbarium at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia (ANSP), Pennsylvania, USA. Although we no longer add physical cards to the DNTF, Herbarium staff manage and update digital “cards” through our website: http://symbiont.ansp.org/dntf/  (Fig. 1) . Why is the DNTF important? As many of you know, diatom taxonomy – names, descriptions, and classification – is continually changing. Projects like the DNTF are important for maintaining consistent taxonomy, which forms the foundation of all applied diatom research. For example, s...
