Setting up biofilm incubations at the university pier on the coast of the North Atlantic Ocean
Moisander Lab at the University of Massachusetts investigates questions in marine microbial ecology and the links of microbial activities to marine biogeochemical cycling. Our recent work has focused on investigations of microbial community assembly and composition in ocean transects and estuaries, zooplankton microbiomes and biofilms, and besides overall community composition, we have a special focus on nitrogen fixing organisms.
Interested in joining the lab as a graduate student or Post doc? Contact the PI about research projects and funding opportunities.
New in February 2024: I am looking for a Ph.D. student to a new project on marine microbial biodegradation and microbially influenced corrosion. Full position description
