This one-year postdoctoral research role within the Applied Biology Program at the University of British Columbia focuses on mapping soil microbial biodiversity across forest and agricultural ecosystems. The position supports the Plant-Soil Microbiome Ecology and Innovation Lab led by Dr. Zelalem Taye. Key responsibilities include coordinating field sampling and laboratory workflows, performing DNA extraction and sequencing, and analyzing metagenomic data using bioinformatics tools. The fellow will also contribute to protocol harmonization, mentor students, and collaborate with land stewards and community partners. The role appeals to candidates seeking to advance applied soil biodiversity knowledge in a collaborative academic environment. It offers the opportunity to work on high-impact research with potential for renewal and professional growth in microbial ecology and genomics.
