Candidates must have a PhD degree and significant experience (and publications) in microbial ecology and bioinformatics, specifically involving mixed natural communities of microorganisms and preferably including organisms from multiple domains and/or viruses. The research will include analysis of new and existing sequences (16S, 18S, other marker genes, metagenomes, metatranscriptomes) and complementary microbial and oceanographic data, primarily from our San Pedro Ocean Time Series (SPOT) and other high frequency time series, but potentially also from new experimental manipulations of field samples. There is near-daily access to fresh open-water samples via the USC boat that travels to our well-equipped marine laboratory on Santa Catalina Island.
