*Position: **Postdoctoral Scientist - Molecular Microbial Ecology***
*Date: October 6, 2017*
*Position Summary:***
A postdoctoral position in molecular microbial ecology is available at
the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole. This NSF-funded
collaborative project with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
seeks to identify the nature of microbial predator-prey interactions
using laboratory chemostats combined with RNA stable isotope probing,
sequencing, and trait-based modeling. We are seeking an individual with
expertise in molecular microbial ecology, including those with interests
in microbial, viral, and eukaryotic dynamics, microbial food webs, and
theoretical ecology. While the primary focus of the work will be in
research, the postdoctoral investigator will have an opportunity to
participate in educational and outreach activities associated with the
project.
**
*Basic Qualifications:***
The successful applicant must hold a Ph.D. in microbiology, marine
science, systems biology, or a related field. Expected skills include
molecular biology and microscopy with bioinformatics proficiency;
chemostat operation and nutrient analyses are considered advantageous,
but not necessary.
**
*Special Instructions to Applicants:***
Please submit the following three items with your application:
(i) a cover letter describing your research goals and your specific
motivation to join our project;
(ii) a CV, and
(iii) contact information for three references, including your Ph.D.
supervisor. (We will contact your references when needed).
Please email Joe Vallino (jvall...@mbl.edu) or Julie Huber
(jhu...@whoi.edu) with any questions about the position.
