About this position

This postdoctoral research associate position is based with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service in Wenatchee, Washington, and centers on microbiome research for fruit tree production systems. The selected researcher will work with a research microbiologist/lead scientist on an ongoing program focused on engineering soil- and plant-associated microbiomes to benefit apple orchards.

The project examines how microbial taxa in the apple root and rhizosphere interact with one another and with their environment over time. You will contribute to research using up to four years of microbiome data from field trials that are studying soil carbon building, environmental stress buffering, and replant disease mitigation. A time-series approach will be used to model rhizobiome community assembly in apples managed under different soil management practices.

The research combines microbial community analysis with site-based environmental and soil-health measurements, including moisture, temperature, and physical/chemical soil metrics collected from the same experimental site. The work is designed to connect sequencing-based community data with broader soil health assessments and to generate long-term evidence that can inform growers and stakeholders.

In addition to collaborating with ARS scientists, the project includes a cross-institutional research environment through collaboration with a biostatistician at the University of Idaho and engagement with scientists and extension agents involved in the Washington Soil Health Initiative. The role offers experience at the interface of government research, academia, extension, and the tree fruit industry.

Funding details

Stipend of $6,474.60 monthly; appointment initially for one year and may be renewed subject to recommendation and availability of funds.

What's required

The qualified candidate should have received or be currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics/Computational Biology, or a related field.
