Received the below announcement from a colleague, thought this group may be
interested (or know people who are) :)

Happy Friday,

Sabah


Dear Colleagues,

The systems biology group at Lawrence Livermore Lab, CA seeks three highly
motivated postdoctoral researchers to work on:

- plant-microbial interactions for sustainable bioenergy

- phage biology

- stable isotope tracing in soil



Please encourage your graduate students or early career post-doctoral
researchers to contact us if they are interested.  As I am currently on
sabbatical, please contact Erin Nuccio (nuccio1 at llnl.gov) for the
plant-microbial interactions position; or Steve Blazewicz (
blazewicz1 at llnl.gov) for the phage/isotope tracing positions. Feel free to
share this email with your colleagues. I’ve pasted a bit more detail about
these exciting research opportunities below – please see the attached
postings for additional information.



Many thanks,

Jennifer Pett-Ridge

Erin Nuccio

Steve Blazewicz



*Brief Descriptions*

*Postdoc in plant-microbial interactions:* This researcher will study
plant-microbial interactions for sustainable bioenergy, with an emphasis on
rhizosphere- and mycorrhizal-microbiome interactions. The researcher will
conduct greenhouse and field experiments to investigate the fundamental
mechanisms underpinning plant-associated symbioses, and will use a suite of
tools including stable isotope probing (SIP)-targeted metagenomics,
metabolomics, and isotopic imaging (NanoSIMS) of microorganisms associated
with plants and soil.



*Postdoc(s) in phage biology/isotope tracing*: These researchers will use
molecular microbial community analysis, advanced genomics and isotope
tracing to understand the role of phage in soil. This research will involve
stable isotope probing, isotopic imaging (NanoSIMS), and analysis of
complex metagenomic datasets and will support LLNL’s multi-investigator
program in microbial carbon cycle genomic sciences.
