The laboratory of Dr. Yi Wang at the University of California, Davis is recruiting several postdoctoral researchers and PhD students to join research projects in metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, and bioprocess engineering. The positions are primarily associated with a newly funded DOE ARPA-E project, as well as other ongoing research initiatives in the lab. Dr. Wang is an Assistant Professor at UC Davis and Executive Editor of Bioresource Technology, with a research focus on advanced biotechnological approaches for resource and energy applications.

Applicants should have a background or strong interest in metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, or bioprocess engineering. Priority consideration will be given to candidates who are already in the United States, but both domestic and international applicants are encouraged to apply. The opportunity is open for both PhD and postdoctoral candidates, offering a chance to work on cutting-edge research in a dynamic and well-funded environment.

Funding for these positions comes from the DOE ARPA-E project and other research grants, though specific details regarding stipend or tuition coverage are not provided in the announcement. Interested candidates should prepare a detailed CV and send it directly to Dr. Yi Wang at [email protected].
