background in microbial and/or nutrient biogeochemistry, with interest in
addressing processes at the interface of biogeochemistry and microbial
oceanography.<span> </span>The primary institutional
home of the successful candidate will be in the nutrient biogeochemistry lab of
Ruttenberg, in the Oceanography Department at the University of Hawaii at Manoa
(UHM), with opportunities for cross-training in microbial oceanography with Dyhrman
at Columbia University-LDEO.<span> </span>The project
supporting this postdoctoral position is a collaboration between Ruttenberg and
Dyhrman, and integrates transcriptome profiling, LCMS, and enzyme assays with
the primary research goal of characterizing DOP molecular weight distribution,
composition and bioavailability as a function of phytoplankton physiology and the
N:P ratio of the (natural or culture) growth medium. This research will use a
combination of field sample analysis, laboratory biogeochemistry, and culture
work at both UHM and LDEO.<span></span></span></font></p>
