Employer: Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Expires: 03/11/2025 OverviewThe Earth and Biological Sciences Directorate (EBSD) leads novel and necessary research in three core areas: Atmospheric and Climate Sciences, Biological Sciences, and Environmental Molecular Sciences. The contributions of EBSD staff are many as we continue to elevate the impact of PNNL's science mission: to understand, predict, and control the complex adaptive systems underlying the science behind Earth, energy, and security.Within PNNL, the Earth and Biological Sciences Directorate (EBSD) leads novel and necessary research behind PNNL's mission to understand, predict, and control the complex adaptive systems underlying the science behind Earth, energy, and security. The Biological Sciences Division (BSD) is an organization of about 220 staff and is one of four divisions within EBSD. Our researchers study the phenotypes of multi-scale biological systems to understand how their integrated components function and respond to change. BSD is structured into four technically focused groups: (1) Translational Omics, (2) Structure, Function & Design, (3) Multiscale Systems Science, and (4) Computational Biology. The success of BSD is enabled by its broad research portfolio and highly collaborative and multi-disciplinary workforce in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, earth science, biomedical science, molecular measurement science, computational biology, statistics, and software engineering. By harnessing a diverse range of skills and perspectives, our team is equipped to identify biology-based solutions to address challenges in ecosystem science, the bioeconomy, human health, and biodefense. This position will support the Multiscale System Science Group’s Strategic Scientific Objective on identifying control points for manipulating multiscale systems.ResponsibilitiesThe Microbial Systems Dynamics Team within the Multiscale Systems Science Group is seeking a highly motivated Post Doctorate RA with a strong background in environmental biogeochemistry, microbiology, and/or bioinformatics. Specific experience in (1) analysis of multivariate data types including microbial ‘omics data and molecular properties of organic matter, (2) urban biogeochemistry and/or microbial ecology, and/or (3) data-model assimilation is desired. Strong teamwork and proficiency in R, Python, Matlab, or similar code-based statistical platforms is required. Specific job duties will vary depending on candidate background.The candidate will join a project focused on understanding and modelling the response of coastal urban systems to environmental extremes. Over 70% of the world’s population is predicted to live in urban areas by the end of the century, yet the impacts of urbanization on ecosystem functions remain ambiguous. This contributes to high uncertainty in the representation of urban carbon (C) cycling within Earth Systems Models (ESMs), which in turn leads to imprecise predictions of the global climate. Our goal is to identify locations exerting strong impacts on biogeochemistry (i.e., control points) and then understand the interplay of molecular controls, nutrient supply, and hydrologic factors that fuel rapid microbial C processing at these locations, particularly in the context of extreme precipitation events. Ultimately, the project aims to generate a mechanistic framework of coastal urban C cycles that incorporates molecular-scale responses to nutrient loadings and precipitation and provides a basis for alleviating uncertainties in existing multiscale models.The project consists of both laboratory and field-based approaches, in coordination with local and national collaborators. This approach requires significant planning, organization, coordination, and communication. The candidate must have strong communication and organizational skills. All candidates will be expected to generate peer-reviewed publications and engage in open science. Responsibilities may include a mix of laboratory experiments and data analysis. The balance of these responsibilities will be determined by the skills and interest of the applicant.QualificationsMinimum Qualifications:Candidates must have received a PhD within the past five years (60 months) or within the next 8 months from an accredited college or university.Preferred Qualifications:Ph.D. in Biogeochemistry, Environmental Sciences, Microbiology, Computational Biology, or a related discipline.Strong background in high resolution organic matter chemistry and microbial sequence analysisProficiency in programming languages (e.g., Python, R, MATLAB) and experience in the bioinformatics of multiple multivariate data types.Proven track record of scientific writing and peer-reviewed publications in relevant fields.Familiar with data assimilation techniques and machine learning applications in environmental science.Enthusiastic about interdisciplinary and collaborative research settings.Hazardous Working Conditions/EnvironmentNot applicable. Additional InformationNot applicable. Testing Designated PositionThis is not a Testing Designated Position (TDP).About PNNLPacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is a world-class research institution powered by a highly educated, diverse workforce committed to the values of Integrity, Creativity, Collaboration, Impact, and Courage.
