About this position

Montana State University is hiring a full-time Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Microbiology & Cell Biology in Bozeman, Montana, United States. The researcher will join the Stewart Lab, which studies aquatic microbial diversity and ecology under environmental change.

The project, funded by the Simons Foundation, focuses on microbial responses to changing ocean oxygen availability, including conditions in marine oxygen minimum zones and other low-oxygen aquatic environments. The role combines fieldwork, laboratory experiments, biochemical and molecular microbiology, microbial physiology, biogeochemistry, and bioinformatic analysis.

Responsibilities include organizing fieldwork in marine and freshwater environments; culturing anaerobic or micro-aerobic microbes; conducting biogeochemical experiments; extracting and characterizing microbial DNA and RNA; analyzing microbial omics datasets; presenting findings at conferences; contributing to scholarly publications and grant proposals; mentoring students; collaborating internationally; and leading outreach activities.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in environmental microbiology, biological oceanography, biogeochemistry, or a related discipline. Demonstrated experience with aquatic microbial sampling, low-oxygen microbial metabolism, and anaerobic or micro-aerobic cultivation or rate measurements is required. Experience with research vessels, science communication, outreach, and stakeholder engagement is preferred. Salary is commensurate with qualifications, and benefits are included. New sponsorship is not available.

Applications will be screened beginning December 1, 2026, and accepted until an adequate applicant pool has been established.

Funding details

Full-time, fiscal-year research appointment with benefits eligibility. Salary is commensurate with experience, education, and qualifications. The research program is funded by the Simons Foundation, but no specific stipend or tuition coverage is stated.

What's required

Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. in environmental microbiology, biological oceanography, biogeochemistry, or a related field. Required experience includes sampling microorganisms from diverse aquatic habitats; experimental or bioinformatic analysis of microbial metabolisms under low-oxygen conditions; and isolation, culturing, or quantitative rate measurements of anaerobic or micro-aerobic microbial metabolisms. Preferred qualifications include teamwork experience under challenging field conditions, including aboard research vessels; technical science communication; educational outreach; and engagement with non-scientist stakeholders and the public. The position is not eligible for new sponsorship.

How to apply

Review the full position details and submit an application through Montana State University's online employment portal. Applications will begin screening on December 1, 2026 and remain open until an adequate applicant pool is established.
