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...
