The Simons Foundation’s Life Sciences division invited applications for postdoctoral fellowships to support candidates who intended to pursue a career in basic research on fundamental problems in marine microbial ecology, with an emphasis on understanding the role of microorganisms in shaping ocean processes and vice versa. We were interested in applicants with training in different disciplines, including modeling and theory development, as well as applicants already involved in ocean research.
