Applications are welcome for a postdoctoral scholar in the CG lab to work on biodiversity-ecosystem function relationships in microbial communities associated with pitcher plants. The successful candidate will be directly supervised by Dr. Catalina Cuellar-Gempeler and interact with the CGLab research group, Faculty and students in the Biological Sciences Department. The position is based atCal Poly Humboldt in Arcata, CA. The NSF funded project work will include laboratory experiments, molecular work, bioinformatics, data analysis and scientific writing.
This is a 12-month appointment with the potential of extension to a second year, contingent upon satisfactory performance and available funds. The preferred start period is in the summer 2025, but start date is flexible.
The position is very flexible and will target your professional goals.

Essential functions of the job: The successful applicant will perform microcosm experiments, conduct molecular work and chemical assays, generate and analyze data associated with the proposed work and contribute to scientific writing of products in this grant. Opportunities to develop complementary research avenues and participate in teaching and instruction in our department are encouraged.
Minimum qualifications: to be considered, candidates must hold a PhD in Ecology, Microbiology, Genetics/Genomics or related fields and demonstrable skills in microbiology, molecular laboratory work (DNA and RNA extractions, PCR and qPCR, amplicon library prep, etc), coding (R and Python preferred), quantitative skills, scientific writing, and mentoring of diverse students.
Desirable qualifications: authored peer reviewed publications in related fields, genomic data processing, multivariate statistics, microscopy, ecological theory, host-microbe interactions background, experience with pitcher plants.
Review of applications will begin in December 1st, 2024.
