One project will involve microbial community analyses through high throughput sequencing and bioinformatics in conjunction with reactor operation for anaerobic methane oxidation. The second project will require pure and mixed culture experiments to examine biofilm physiological responses to a stress. We aim to produce high quality publications in top-ranked journals from these research activities. The postdoctoral research fellow will participate in the management of these Australian Research Council funded Discovery Projects.

Abilities of rigorous experiment design and implementation and of in-depth critical data analysis are required. The applicants should also possess a high level of communication and negotiation skills, be outcome focused and prepared to participate in laboratory and field sampling to acquire data.
