Position Summary The Rowe lab (http://electromicrobiology.org) at Michigan State University is seeking a Research Associate (Post-Doc) in the area of microbial physiology and genetics, with a special focus on non-model systems. This position will primarily focus on a funded project aimed at characterizing the genetic basis of extracellular electron transfer in Methanosarcina, and uncovering physiologic basis of this process using coupled electrochemistry, microscopy and molecular biology approaches. This will also include opportunities to work on developing new genetic tools for Methanosarcina, performing self-directed projects in microbial electrophysiology, and investigating new microbe-electrode technologies with novel microbial electrochemical systems.
