<p class="MsoNormal" style="">Postdoctoral Fellow to work on an
NSF PIRE-funded project which will focus on microbial
community structure and diversity, biogeography, genomics,
microbial lipid and isotope signatures, and ecosystem-level
functioning in the largest hot spring complex in China, the
Tengchong Geothermal Field in Yunnan Province. The candidate
should have a strong interest in one or more of the following
research topics: Integrating rigorous statistical and
community functional genomics approaches to examine the
relative importance of environmental factors and geographic
separation on microbial distribution and abundance; combining
high-resolution visualization tools, microbial energetics, and
functional genomics and metabolomics to understand
biogeochemical cycling of carbon and nitrogen. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">Require: PhD in Microbiology or
Geology; molecular microbiology (pyrosequencing, metagenomics,
etc) and cultivation skills; microbial functional microarray
analysis for identification and quantification of genes
important to carbon and nitrogen metabolism in hot springs. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">Desire: isotope high resolution
visualization tools such as CARD-FISH and TEM; ratio mass
spectrometry for identification and quantification of
metabolic metabolites and carbon and nitrogen isotope
fractionations; strong written and communication skills;
enthusiasm for international and interdisciplinary
collaboration. This is a one-year position which is renewable
based on performance and continued funding. <o:p></o:p></p>
