Postdoctoral Research Associate Positions

 

About the Job


We are seeking multiple highly motivated and collaborative postdocs with demonstrated skills in microbiome, microbial ecology, soil science, and/or computational biology. The positions are for several different projects, including grassland microbiome responses to nutrient addition in global nutrient experiments, predictive understanding of microbiome dynamics and functioning in engineering systems such as bioreactors and fuel tanks. The postdocs will be responsible for sample collection or management, microbiome analysis, data processing, integration, synthesis, and modeling. Besides, the postdocs could participate in studying microbial feedback to climate change in our long-term climate change facility. The postdocs will also be encouraged to collaborate with other laboratory members on diverse research projects related to microbial ecology.

The postdocs will be employed in the Institute for Environmental Genomics (IEG, http://ieg.ou.edu) and the Department of Microbiology and Plant Biology at the University of Oklahoma and supervised by Drs.
