Description

We are looking for a postdoctoral research scientist to work on a project that aims to advance understanding of how early season nutrient loading magnitude and stoichiometry, and hydraulic residence time in lakes and reservoirs with varied surrounding land-use practices influences HABs, anoxia and microbial functioning. Specifically, the postdoctoral research scientist will be involved in assessing microbial seasonal dynamics (phytoplankton, prokaryotes, and viruses) using metagenomics and transcriptomics. The main focus of the postdoctoral scientist will be to analyze and integrate the metagenomic and transcriptomic data using bioinformatic analyses. Other duties include field sampling, DNA/RNA extractions and integration with the field data to generate an ecosystem model for monomictic lakes.
