Title: Metabolic Network Modeling and Systems Analysis of BioEnergy Microbes for Conversion of Lignocellulosic Biomass into Biofuels, Biochemicals, and Biomaterials

A postdoctoral scholar position is available in Dr. Trinh's laboratory in The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The project involves the development and application of metabolic network modeling and systems analysis tools to fundamentally study metabolisms and guide strain engineering for effective conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels, biochemicals, and biomaterials. An interested candidate is expected to hold a Ph.D. degree in chemical engineering, bioengineering, bioinformatics, computer science, and/or related fields with a proven track record of refereed publications. Candidates with strong computational skills and backgrounds in metabolic network modeling, bioinformatics, OMCS analysis, optimization theory, computer programming, and/or high-performance computing are highly preferred. The contract is on a one-year basis and can be extended based on the research progress and funding availability. An interested candidate should send his/her curriculum vitae including contact information of three references to Dr. Trinh via email at ctrinh@utk.edu.
