Postdoc Algal bacterial interactions - LLNL

National Lab Postdoctoral Researcher – Algal bacterial interactions
 
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Livermore, California,
U.S.A.
 
We have an opening for a Postdoctoral Research Staff Member to work on the interactions between bacteria and algae to understand fundamental elemental cycling in aquatic environments. This research will examine bacteria-controlled metabolic changes in algal physiology using ‘omics, stable isotope imaging, and microbial community characterization. The project, led by LLNL, supports a multi-institution research program focused on sustainable and predictable bioenergy crop production, including the cultivation of algae for biomass and biofuel precursors. Our scientific approach is through a community systems biology understanding of microbial consortia that are closely associated with bioenergy-relevant crops. The postdoc will work with Xavier Mayali at LLNL and will be a member of the Nuclear and Chemical Sciences Division. The research will take advantage of our team’s many analytical tools, including LLNL’s NanoSIMS imaging mass spectrometer, NMR facility, and accelerator mass spectrometer. Our team benefits by active collaborations with scientists at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, UC Berkeley and MIT.
 
Interested candidates should contact Xavier Mayali: mayali1 [-at-] llnl.gov
 
Application deadline: May 15, 2019
