About this position
The National Laboratory of the Rockies is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join its Biosciences group in Golden, Colorado. The project focuses on the biosynthetic production of chemical intermediates in photosynthetic systems and on establishing control over carbon flux for future photosynthetic biomanufacturing.
The researcher will work within an algae biotechnology research group investigating direct in planta production of important chemicals. The work combines non-model algae metabolomics, amino-acid metabolism, shikimate-pathway fluxomics, 13C labeling, genetic engineering, vector design and the genetic tractability of diverse organisms. A major goal is to use metabolically active genes to modulate intracellular physiology and improve the production of biofuels and bioproducts.
Experimental activities will use advanced analytical instrumentation, especially liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry and established software platforms for quantifying metabolites and lipid or other biofuel-precursor fractions from biomass samples. The researcher will also perform GC/MS and LC/MS analyses, interpret and communicate results, and support continuous monitoring of cell physiology in controlled, simulated photosynthetic cultivation systems.
The role includes developing advanced metabolomics and photophysiology tools for optimizing cell-biochemistry manipulation, contributing to strain and process improvements for carbon capture and storage, and helping develop new theories and methods. The postdoctoral researcher will write peer-reviewed manuscripts, present findings at conferences, contribute to collaborative proposals and business-development activities, and work as part of a multidisciplinary team. Team interaction also includes supporting the technical and professional development of undergraduate and graduate interns.
The position offers a research environment with state-of-the-art facilities, multidisciplinary collaboration and partnerships involving industry, academia and other national laboratories, within the laboratory’s broader mission of advancing secure, reliable and cost-effective energy technologies.

What's required
Applicants must be recent PhD graduates who completed the degree within the last three years and must meet the educational requirements before employment starts. A PhD in Biochemistry, Biology or Chemistry is required. Applicants should have demonstrated experience and publications applying advanced analytical chemistry tools to physiological or biochemical problems, including metabolomics method development, direct operation and maintenance of GC/MS and LC/MS instruments, data reduction, interpretation and communication. Experience building and maintaining instruments and equipment, applying metabolomics and machine-learning methods to mass-spectrometry data, bioinformatics, and coding in R or Python is required or strongly expected. Experience with plant, microbial or algae biotechnology, photophysiology, primary carbon assimilation pathways, experimental design, statistical interpretation, project management, scientific writing and communication is expected. Strong publication and science-communication records are preferred, as are skills in mass spectrometry, physiology, data analysis, machine learning, statistics, experimental design and data mining. Candidates must be able to obtain and maintain the required federal PIV credential, satisfy DOE access requirements and pass a pre-employment drug test if offered employment.
