Michigan Technological University invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher in microbiology. This full-time, fixed-term position will be located in Houghton, Michigan.

The university is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral scientist to lead efforts in the identification and characterization of ice-modulating proteins. The successful candidate will conduct research aimed at the identification, characterization, and engineering of ice-modulating compounds. This is part of a larger project examining bacteria from ice-covered systems to identify biologically produced compounds that aid in controlling ice formation. These candidates would work as part of a transdisciplinary team of microbial ecologists, biochemists, and materials scientists to identify and engineer ice-controlling proteins.

A PhD in microbiology, molecular biology, chemical engineering, or a closely related field is required, and must have been earned within the last six years.

Expertise in at least two of the following are desired: bioinformatics, protein engineering, microbial physiology, and characterization of psychrophilic microbes. Previous field experience is a plus, but not required.

Applications must be submitted online and should include a letter stating the applicant's interest and suitability, a brief (one-page) research statement, a curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references.
