The Thrash lab at USC is recruiting a postdoc to work on metabolic modeling of oligotrophic
marine bacteria. The research will involve generating genome-scale metabolic models, culturing,
flux balance analysis, and can include stable isotope probing and isolation of new strains.
Ideal candidates will have:
● A Ph.D. and a strong publication record in microbiology, environmental or chemical
engineering, computer science, or a related field;
● Experience in genome-scale metabolic model construction and validation, related
modeling skills, or a strong motivation to learn these skills;
● Experience with culturing microorganisms or a strong motivation to learn;
● Detailed understanding of microbial metabolism and regulation, particularly related to
growth dynamics;
● Excellent written and oral communication skills.
This position is funded for 36 months, with an option for extension. We strongly encourage
applications from members of under-represented minorities. To apply, please send your CV and
an email to Dr. Cameron Thrash (thrash@usc.edu) explaining your qualifications and motivation
to join the project. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
