Note: This is a two-year Postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of extension to a maximum of three years.
We have an opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher to conduct research in the areas of computational systems biology. This research will involve development and use of detailed system-level models of metabolism in microbial communities and development of novel constraint-based modeling methods.
These models and tools will be used to examine the biochemical mechanisms of intercellular interactions. This research could involve development of multiple types of models including genome-scale steady state models, reaction-transport dynamic models, and some ML models. Some of the modeling efforts involve use of LLNL's high-performance computing. The position is part of a larger project aiming to develop comprehensive understanding of the systems level resource allocation consequences of microscale symbioses between microbes and bioenergy and bioproduct relevant crops.
The purpose of this appointment is to promote cutting-edge science and requires day-to-day interactions with experimental biologists. This position is in the Biochemical and Biophysical Systems group of the Biosciences and Biotechnology Division.
This position requires full-time on-site presence due to the nature of the work.
You will:
Recent PhD in microbiology, bioengineering, computer science, chemistry/biochemistry, physics or related field.
Demonstrated understanding of the concepts of microbial physiology (particularly metabolism), systems biology and dynamics of multi-cellular communities.
Previous experience in mathematical modeling of networks.
Experience in bioinformatics and computational analyses.
Familiarity with system-level modeling methods like FBA and tools like COBRA.
Demonstrated effective communication skills through publication of journal articles and presentations at seminars and scientific meetings.
Demonstrated leadership skills with desire and ability to work in a collaborative, multidisciplinary team environment.
