Microbial Ecology jobs

Develop computational and mathematical methods for soil microbiomes in the Quince Group. The work combines long- and short-read metagenomics with metatranscriptomics, resolves strain diversity using statistical models, and supports predictive models of natural soils and synthetic microbial communities. The full-time appointment lasts three years, with…

Investigate how groundwater microbes and viruses affect carbon cycling. This four-year doctoral project combines environmental sampling, molecular analyses and computational interpretation of microbial communities.

Use engineering and microfluidic methods to investigate how bacterial movement affects plasmid transfer. The doctoral project examines processes relevant to the spread of antibiotic resistance.

Join the Mukhopadhyay Group and DOE m-CAFEs project to engineer plant-associated microbes and investigate sorghum root ecosystems. The research combines genetics, proteomics, metabolomics and functional genomics to study microbial stress responses, biofilms, horizontal gene transfer, community stability and root colonization. Responsibilities include…
