The MMAR Lab

Marine Microbial Adaptive Responses

We are recruiting!

In The MMAR Lab, there will be many opportunities to work developing numerical models, from modeling single cells to plankton food webs, as well as performing empirical work culturing marine microbes in the lab and investigating microbial metabolisms in the field (we are surrounded by water at the Marine Science Institute!).
Email me at suzana.leles@utexas.edu with your CV and a personal statement sharing who you are, your research interests, and why you would like to join the lab. Check more about our PhD program at UTMSI here.
I am happy to brainstorm research ideas and provide feedback if you would like to apply for a postdoc fellowship. Potential fellowships that I am aware of include NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (US-citizens only) and Simons Graduate Fellowships in Ecology and Evolution (no citizenship requirements).

Postdoc positions will be listed here in case I have funding. Otherwise, I am always open to support researchers interested in applying for their own funding.

The lab also welcomes undergraduate researchers!

There are remote opportunities for those interested in computational work and in-person opportunities based at UTMSI for those interested in lab- or field- based approaches.
Undergraduate students can also apply through the program Semester by the Sea.
