<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Cambria"><span lang="EN-US">The project focuses on the development
of gene- and protein-centric biogeochemical models that integrate observation
and experimental (“-omic; genomic, trancriptomic and proteomic”) data.<span>  </span>The goal is to develop models that capture
microbial processes (such as carbon remineralization) that are not well
represented in traditional Nutrient, Phytoplankton, Zooplankton, Detritus
(NPZD) models.<span>   </span>This is part of a larger
project focusing on understanding microbial community dynamics in the Northwest
Atlantic and the successful applicant will work closely with the microbial
ecologists conducting the field and laboratory components of the project.<span>  </span><span></span></span></p>
