In this proposed research we investigate how microbial communities coordinate the exchange of nutrients, energy, and carbon in freshwater soil wetlands, and the outcome of these interactions to emergent ecosystems properties like greenhouse gas flux. Our proposed systems biology framework leverages laboratory and field derived microbial community data to test the conservation of microbial trait networks across geographically distinct wetlands that display similar methane fluxes and uses modeling framework to understand how these interactions respond dynamically and predictively to control freshwater greenhouse gas fluxes.## Additional Information:**Resume Required** **Required Qualifications:**Master’s degree, Doctoral degree or equivalent experience required, 5-6 years of relevant experience and industry knowledge, thorough understanding of research concepts and technical capabilities to perform tasks and projects. **Desired Qualifications:**Doctoral degree in related field of study, 7-10 years of experience preferred.## Location:Hitchcock Hall (0274)## Position Type:Regular## Scheduled Hours:40## **Shift:**First Shift***Final candidates are subject to successful completion of a background check.
