Job or Campus Folder Postdoctoral Fellows-Algae Biofuels-Microbial Physiological Ecology
Job Description ExxonMobil Research and Engineering has immediate openings for postdoctoral fellows in its Corporate Strategic Research laboratory located in Annandale, NJ. Candidates are sought to fill key positions in the Algae Biofuels Research and Development Program, which is part of ExxonMobils strategic alliance with Synthetic Genomics, Inc. This program is a new long term investment focused on biofuel production from photosynthetic algae. If successful, these next generation biofuels could augment the worlds transportation fuel supply and assist in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the decades to come.
Microbial and Physiological Ecology (one position): This individual will be part of a team responsible for assessing the growth and physiology of selected microalgal strains under various culture conditions in order to maximize biofuel formation. In addition, interactions of the culture microbiota including algae, protozoan predators, and other microorganisms will be investigated.
A PhD is required in microbial ecology, microbial physiology, microbiology, phycology or a related field. Experience with microbial physiology, physiological ecology, photosynthesis, algal nutrition, and bioinformatics is highly desired, as is familiarity with state-of-the-art systems biology techniques such as transcriptomics and metagenomics.
Microbial Molecular Biology (one position): This individual will be part of a team carrying out experiments related to the development and analysis of microalgal strains, including efforts to improve the photosynthetic performance of the strains.
A PhD is required in genetics, cellular biology, microbiology, molecular biology, biophysics or a related field. Experience with microbial physiology, photosynthesis, cellular metabolism, and bioinformatics is highly desired, as is familiarity with state-of-the-art molecular and systems biology techniques such as transcriptomics and metagenomics.
Bioreactor design engineering (one position): This individual will be part of a team working on the design, operation, and testing of reactor systems to grow and harvest algae. Responsibilities will include implementing, testing, and modifying prototype photo bioreactors, algae harvesting equipment, and input/output systems. This individual will also interact with design teams and contractors.
A PhD in chemical or mechanical engineering or related field is required. Requirements include reactor engineering expertise, bioreactor design experience, as well as experience in experimental design.
The successful candidates will spend time both at ExxonMobils and Synthetic Genomics R&D facilities. Candidates are expected to have demonstrated strong scientific leadership within the scientific community. Strong communication skills are essential, as collaboration with other science areas is critical for success.
ExxonMobils Corporate Strategic Research (CSR) laboratory is a dynamic and exciting place to work. CSR is located in scenic western New Jersey, about an hour west of New York City and 45 minutes northwest of Princeton. Within CSR, active research programs exist in all areas of the companys business and which cut across the traditional fields of chemical engineering, materials science, chemistry, physics, geoscience, and mechanical engineering. Interdisciplinary research is the norm, and close ties are maintained with the academic and national laboratory communities through publication and presentation of results.
ExxonMobil offers an excellent working environment and a competitive compensation and benefits package. Please submit your cover letter and resume to our website at www.exxonmobil.com/ex and apply to Postdoctoral Fellows-Algae Biofuels.
