Corals internalise algae into their cells to form a symbiosis that underpins reef ecosystems. How does the host integrate symbionts into its body plan?

Hi coral community, I am looking for a new postdoc position. While still interested in fundamental coral physiology, I am also ready for applied research approaches in the context of reef restoration or enhanced thermal resilience. Please keep posting job opportunities from your labs.
