<h1>Postdoc at Livermore National Lab in algal-bacterial interactions<o:p></o:p></h1>
<p>Lawrence Livermore National Lab is hiring a postdoctoral scientist to work on algal-bacteria interactions using multi-omics and stable isotope probing. The position will be mentored by Dr. Xavier Mayali (email <a href="mailto:mayali1@llnl.gov">mayali1@llnl.gov</a> for
questions) and is funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE). This 3-Year position is a unique opportunity to experience the DOE national lab system and could lead to a permanent position given subsequent funding.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We have an opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher to work on host-microbe metabolic interactions and exchange in microalgae. This DOE funded project centered at LLNL supports a multi-institution research program (<a href="https://bio-sfa.llnl.gov">https://bio-sfa.llnl.gov</a>),
which is focused on sustainable and predictable bioenergy crop production. We use a community systems biology approach to gain a comprehensive understanding of the systems level resource allocation consequences of microscale symbioses between microbes and
bioenergy-relevant crops. Primary analytical resources include high-throughput isotope probing, Cameca NanoSIMS 50 ion microprobe, other advanced microscopes, high performance computing, NMR facility, LC-MS/MS instrumentation, and active collaborations with
external organizations such as UC Berkeley, MIT, NC State, U Illinois, LBNL, JGI, and EMSL. This position is in the Environmental Isotope Systems group of the Nuclear and Chemical Sciences Division.<o:p></o:p></p>
