One or more postdoctoral researcher positions are immediately available at the Synthetic and Systems Biology Innovation Hub (SSBiH) of Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology in Texas A&M University. The position will focus on integration of biological and chemical lignin conversion with carbonization material production and improvement of lignin/biomass processing. Basically, the lab has developed a series of biological, biochemical and chemical lignin factionization and conversion methods, we are interested in having a postdoc with material or chemical engineering/science, and or microbial background to utilize different faction of lignin derived from biological process to produce carbon based material. We are also interested in integrating our strains and process with new biomass conversion and lignin extraction process development. We have broad collaboration to enable the multidisciplinary research and the establishment of latest platforms. In addition, the general lab environment is collaborative, friendly, and constructive. College Station is a great place to live, offering small town environment near to the major cities. We are seeking highly motivated and productive scientists with suitable background. Salary is commensurate with experience. Full scale state employee benefits will be provided in general.
