Los Alamos, United States Los Alamos National Laboratory Full time
What You Will Do Los Alamos National Laboratory invites applications for a postdoctoral position in the Genomics and Bioanalytics Group (B-GEN) of the Bioscience Division. The Chain Lab is looking for a highly motivated and multi-talented postdoctoral candidate to pursue research alongside a team of scientists working on multi-omics driven studies of environmental microbiomes to investigate interkingdom interactions. This position would be a part of Dr. Chain's Department of Energy funded Science Focus Area (SFA) project entitled, 'Bacterial-Fungal Interactions and their Role in Soil Functioning'. The Science Focus Area project examines bacterial-fungal interactions using both in silico and empirical/experimental characterizations. Candidates for this position would ideally have experience in culturing and working with diverse microbial isolates, performing common molecular laboratory techniques such as nucleic acid extractions and PCR, and be comfortable with the generation and analysis of multi-omics data. Experimental work will be done primarily with bacteria and fungi, and may include some work with viruses and plants, thus experience with multiple or all of these organisms is preferred. Investigations focus on understanding the roles and functions of these interactions in soil and rhizosphere environments, thus, experience in microbial ecology and obtaining and working with complex field samples is preferred. The selected candidate will work closely with a team of staff scientists, postdoctoral researchers, technicians, and external collaborators and will be expected to contribute to scientific strategy, experimental design and execution, data analysis, and manuscript writing. What You NeedMinimum Job Requirements: Strong background in microbiology, mycology, and/or molecular biology Demonstrated experience with standard molecular biology techniques and the preparation of samples for multi-omics analysis Excellent communication and writing skills in the English language A proven publication record and interest in grant writing The ability to work both independently and as part of a team A demonstrated commitment to supporting diversity and inclusion in biological research Education/Experience : Ph.D. in microbial ecology, biology, bioinformatics, microbiology or related discipline completed within the last 5 years Desired Qualifications: Candidates should have strong computational and bioinformatics skills, including experience in designing and running pipelines to analyze complex microbiome datasets and familiarity with high performance computing environments. Demonstrated experience working on microbial interactions Work Location: The work location for this position is hybrid and is located in Los Alamos, NM. Hybrid is defined as working partially onsite/partially offsite but within 2 hours ground commute of this location. All work locations are at the discretion of management and can change at any time with appropriate notice.Competitive salaries are based on the date the PhD degree requirements were completed or the degree was awarded. Starting salary for a new graduate is currently $94,500. For more information go to Postdoc Program website at .
