Post Doctoral Scholar
About The Position
The postdoctoral scholar will support statistical and computational work on developing methodology for estimating species-level phylogenetic trees and analyzing ocean microbial communities involved in carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen cycling using metagenomics and metatranscriptomics. The role includes developing novel statistical methods for inference and implementing them in software written in C and Python; preparing software documentation and online tutorials; analyzing metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data using R and Bash; preparing and submitting manuscripts; and contributing to grant preparation. The position is in the Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology within the College of Arts and Sciences at The Ohio State University. It is a fixed-term position contingent on funding and will end on or before 11/01/2027, subject to continued funding and performance. The position is based at Aronoff Laboratory (0131), with a first-shift schedule of 40 hours per week. The stated annual pay is $62,232. Final candidates must successfully complete a background check; a drug screen or physical may also be required after an offer.
