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 (https://bio-sfa.llnl.gov). 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.
