About the Role
Position Summary
The Department of Microbiology, Genetics, & Immunology seeks a highly motivated Postdoctoral Scholar to conduct cutting-edge research in environmental genomics with a focus on metabolic pathways and biogeochemical cycling in marine systems. The scholar will analyze large-scale omics datasets (amplicon, metagenomics and metatranscriptomics) to investigate microbial contributions to ocean nutrient cycles.
Primary responsibilities include:
+ Computational analysis and interpretation of environmental genomics datasets
+ Development and application of bioinformatic pipelines for metabolic reconstruction and biogeochemical inference
+ Leading manuscript preparation and publication of research findings
+ Contributing to grant writing and proposal development
+ Mentoring undergraduate and graduate students in data analysis and research design
+ Participating in collaborative, interdisciplinary research initiative...
