Job Description:
Berkeley Lab’s Joint Genome Institute Division has an opening for a Microbiology Postdoctoral Scholar. We have an exciting opportunity in the area of microbial genomics, single-cell analysis, and viral ecology. We are looking for a talented, highly motivated candidate with a strong background in single-cell approaches such as microfluidics, droplet encapsulation, and/or flow cytometry, to participate in research focused on developing approaches for virus-host linkage identification. You will be expected to lead the development of innovative approaches for co-localizing viral and host genes and genomes in microbial cells, and analyze novel associations obtained from environmental samples to investigate virus-host networks and interactions. This position will be part of the Environmental Genomics group (led by Emiley Eloe-Fadrosh) and will work in close collaboration with the Micro-Scale Applications (Rex Malmstrom) and Single Cells groups (Tanja Woyke), under the supervision of Simon Roux. The incumbent will work independently, as well as contribute as a member of a dynamic, multidisciplinary team of biologists, bioinformaticians, computer scientists and software developers. What You Will Do:
Additional Info:
The posting shall remain open until the position is filled, however for full consideration, please apply by close of business on November 1, 2017. Notes: This is a full time, 2 year, postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds and ongoing operational needs. You must have less than 3 years paid postdoctoral experience. Salary for Postdoctoral positions depends on years of experience post-degree. Full-time, M-F, exempt (monthly paid) from overtime pay. This position is represented by a union for collective bargaining purposes. Salary will be predetermined based on postdoctoral step rates. This position may be subject to a background check. Any convictions will be evaluated to determine if they directly relate to the responsibilities and requirements of the position. Having a conviction history will not automatically disqualify an applicant from being considered for employment. Work will be primarily performed at: DOE Joint Genome Institute (JGI) — 2800 Mitchell Dr., Walnut Creek, CA. Berkeley Lab (LBNL) addresses the world’s most urgent scientific challenges by advancing sustainable energy, protecting human health, creating new materials, and revealing the origin and fate of the universe. Founded in 1931, Berkeley Lab’s scientific expertise has been recognized with 13 Nobel prizes. The University of California manages Berkeley Lab for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science. Equal Employment Opportunity: Berkeley Lab is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age, or protected veteran status. Berkeley Lab is in compliance with the Pay Transparency Nondiscrimination Provision under 41 CFR 60-1.4.
