Designation: Postdoctoral Researcher
Research Area: Soil Microbiology
Location: Hanover, NH, USA
Eligibility/Qualification: The postdoctoral researcher must have completed a PhD within the past 5 years in Soil Science. Qualified candidates should have prior experience with next-generation sequencing (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, etc.), bioinformatics, and statistical analysis of microbial datasets. The candidate should also be driven to synthesize and document research findings through peer-reviewed publications and contribute to the team.
Job Description: The selected candidates will work on two different projects related to the ecology of microbial communities in cold regions and analyzing whole genome sequencing datasets. The first project includes amplicon and shotgun sequencing datasets investigating the ecology of microbial communities in cold regions, relating to permafrost thaw, disturbance, and terrestrial bioelectric signaling. The second project includes analyzing whole genome sequencing datasets of isolates from annotating genomes. The candidate will generate research questions to better understand important aspects of the genome. The researcher will be responsible for proper documentation of methods and data as well as contributing to reports and research presentations. The candidate should exhibit a strong ability to collaborate with an interdisciplinary team.
How to Apply: Interested candidates should submit a cover letter describing research experience and goals and a CV as a single pdf to Robyn A. Barbato.
Last Date for Apply: Until Position Filled
