style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">We
have a rather large culture collection (~1000 isolates) of soil
microbes from surface and subsurface soils, some of which come
from novel lineages and many of which are extremely oligotrophic.
We are looking for folks to work with these strains, and possibly
isolate new strains to answer some basic questions about what they
are doing, their evolution, and how their processes are regulated.
This will likely involve preparing isolates for genome sequencing,
transcriptomes, metabolomes, and analyzing the resulting data and
of course publishing papers about it. We would like to work up
TnSeq functional genomics approaches in some of the isolates as
well, so if you have students that have TnSeq experience, this
might be a good opportunity. </div>

is substantial flexibility in the exact design of the postdoc
project and we have at least one paper that can be put together
relatively quickly from the data we already have. </div>
