Postdoctoral Scholar in Soil Microbial Ecology

Join the Soil Microbiomes Laboratory at Penn State as a Postdoctoral Scholar to explore the fate of biocrust microbial communities in arid and semi-arid lands. This NSF CAREER-funded project focuses on how these communities respond to environmental changes and their impact on soil ecosystem functioning. You will conduct laboratory and field experiments, apply various scientific approaches, and collaborate with a diverse team. This position offers opportunities for professional development and mentoring students. Candidates should have a background in environmental microbiology or related fields and a strong commitment to research and collaboration.
