Berkeley Lab's (LBNL) Environmental Genomics and Systems Biology (EGSB) Division has an opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Tringe Lab as part of the Microbial Systems Group.
In this exciting role, you will apply multi-omics methods to understand nutrient cycling in soil, particularly as it relates to soil carbon accumulation and storage. This work will be done in the context of the Center for the Restoration of Soil Carbon by Precision Biological Strategies (RESTOR-C), whose goal is to harness plants and microbes to increase carbon flux into soil carbon storage pools to form persistent carbon.
You will work with a collaborative team to obtain sequence data, such as amplicon sequences, isolated genomes, metagenomes and metatranscriptomes, as well as metabolite and biogeochemical data. You will then analyze, integrate, and interpret the information with a variety of standard or custom tools to identify microbial features associated with soil carbon stability. This position may also include planning and executing lab work such as nucleic acid extraction, microbial characterization, plant cultivation and molecular biology experiments. You will store and organize results for presentation and viewing by internal and external project team members and the wider scientific community and prepare results for publication in scientific journals.
This position has an anticipated start date of May 6, 2024.
