Open Postdoc positions
Both are two year positions with the possibility of extension dependent on funding. To apply to one of these two positions, please send,
Graduate students: If you are interested in coming to OSU as a graduate student please get in touch to discuss research interests. Students with an interest in environmental microbiology, ecosystem modeling, catchment-scale biogeochemistry, or similar are particularly encouraged to get in touch. I can recruit students through several graduate programs at OSU including Soil Science, Environmental Sciences, and Water Resources.
I strongly encourage students (and postdocs) to apply for fellowships (please see here for a great list of fellowships compiled by Kat Georgiou).
Undergraduate students: Undergrads are encouraged to contact me about research opportunities in the laboratory. There are many undergrad-related projects investigating the forest microbiome or the nitrogen cycle, including in molecular microbiology, computational microbiology, ecosystem modeling, time-series analysis, etc.
- Disturbance microbiome position (see here): looks at how disturbance in Rocky Mountain forests impact microbial trait distribution and biogeochemical cycling. This would be suitable for someone with a background in isotope geochemistry (nitrogen & strontium), and familiarity with metagenomic and metabolomic analysis.
- Hillslope biogeochemical modeling (see here): uses an ecosystem model (EcoSIM) to examine how the composition of hillslope traits (e.g., vegetation, soil properties, aspect, topography) regulates water, carbon and nitrogen cycling , and determines hillslope exports to watersheds under an increasing frequency and severity of drought conditions. This would suit someone with a strong background in ecosystem modeling, and biogeochemistry.
Both are two year positions with the possibility of extension dependent on funding. To apply to one of these two positions, please send,
- A detailed CV.
- A short statement describing your background, and research interests.
- Contact information for three references.
