The TerAvest lab in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Michigan State University has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral researcher (Research Associate) to study energy metabolism and biofuel production in *Zymomonas mobilis*. Candidates with degrees in microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, or related fields will be considered. Experience with genetic engineering and/or synthetic biology is preferred.
This project is funded through the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center and will afford many opportunities to interact with other biofuel researchers within the center at both MSU and University of Wisconsin, Madison. This position will include targeted mentoring to help you reach your career goals, with opportunities to mentor students, gain teaching experience, direct outreach activities, and develop independent projects. Our lab strongly values reproducibility in research, rigorous statistical analysis, and excellent writing, and these values will also be a part of the mentoring plan. Because we are a young lab, you will have significant freedom to develop projects, standard practices, and lab culture.
