Job Description Summary

The Algae Systems and Ecological Engineering Lab at Auburn University is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to conduct research on applied phycology for nutrient recovery from wastewater streams. The appointment is for a period of two years. The position is a 12-month, benefits-eligible, non-tenure-accruing position and is immediately available. The preferred starting date is June 2024. The candidate will lead the investigation in bioprospecting for filamentous algal species in the southeastern U.S. useful for cultivating at-scale for nutrient remediation and biomass production in wastewaters.

Key Responsibilities

The successful candidate will design, develop, and build lab and microcosm-scale experimentation systems for investigation into filamentous algal production and growth. They will have experience with water quality measurements and environmental monitoring protocols. The candidate will also be able to collect and identify algal species in the field and purify and culture them in the laboratory. Additionally, they will contribute to grant proposal and research manuscript writing.

Requirements

The minimum qualifications include an earned Ph.D. from an accredited institution in Phycology, Applied Phycology, or similar, or in Biosystems, Agricultural, Ecological, and/or Environmental Engineering or similar with experience in algae culturing and cultivation at the time employment begins. The candidate must be eligible for a U.S. driver's license and have the ability and willingness to perform field work in freshwater stream ecosystems in the Southeastern U.S. over a range of seasonal and strenuous conditions.

Desired Qualifications

Familiarity with filamentous algae species collection, culturing, and cultivation is desirable. Familiarity with watersheds in the Southeastern U.S. is likewise desirable. Familiarity with advanced methods for chemical and biological analyses of algae culturing and biomass is additionally desirable.

How to Apply

Applicants must apply for the position electronically through the Auburn University website and submit the following documents: (1) a curriculum vitae, including a list of publications and relevant research experience; (2) a statement of research interests and goals (maximum 2 pages), and (3) copies of academic transcripts. When prompted during the online application process, please provide the names, phone numbers, and email addresses of three professional references. Only complete application materials will be considered. Review of applications will begin April 1, 2024, and will continue until the position is filled.
