Physics, biology and microbial ecology of toxic plankton blooms
Posted: November 9, 2026Marine microalgal populations can grow explosively giving rise to plankton blooms. This has important ecological consequences: bloom biomass can stimulate life across the food web; however, blooms can also be harmful (Smayda, 2019). Each year, toxin-producing Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) kill vast numbers of animals (including fish and mammals), with substantial health and economic impacts… View Article
Postdoctoral Position in Algal Biological & Chemical Diversity
Posted: January 23, 2026We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow to work on an NSF-funded project investigating the chemical and biological diversity of benthic dinoflagellates in coral reef ecosystems. Specifically, the work focuses on the diversity of marine benthic dinoflagellate communities and their corresponding metabolome, with the goal of understanding interactions that link to toxin production and ciguatera poisoning.
