Posting: 11377
Location: Eugene
Closes: Open Until Filled
Jessica Green (http://biology.uoregon.edu/people/green/) and Brendan
Bohannan (http://biology.uoregon.edu/ceeb/faculty_pages/Bohannan/) are
currently seeking a bioinformatics postdoctoral researcher to explore
fundamental questions in microbial ecology and evolution. Applicants
should have a PhD with extensive training using bioinformatics to
understand the ecology and/or evolution of complex biological
communities, and strong writing skills. The ideal candidate will have
experience developing and applying quantitative community and population
ecological methods to the analysis of environmental sequence data and
next-generation sequence data.
The successful candidate will play a key role in the Biology and Built
Environment (BioBE) Center (http://biobe.uoregon.edu/), funded by the
Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The BioBE Center is training a new
generation of innovators to study the built environment microbiome - the
diversity of indoor microbial life, their genetic elements and their
interactions. The vision of this national research center is to
understand buildings as complex ecosystems and to explore how
architectural design mediates urban microbial ecology and evolution.
