<ul><li>A postdoctoral researcher role is available in NREL’s Renewable Resources and Enabling Sciences Center. Successful candidates will work in the Agile BioFoundry project to conduct modeling of metabolic pathways, computational systems biology, and machine learning towards the production of renewable chemicals from biomass-derived sugars in collaboration with a large, multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional team. Candidates will work with systems biology and computational biology tools throughout their postdoctoral tenure to make recommendations to improve strain performance, develop new methods to integrate and learn from multi-omics datasets, and to examine pan-scale performance of engineered microbial strains. This work will lead to industrially relevant strain performance through Design-Build-Test-Learn and scale-up activities. &nbsp;The initial appointment is for one year, with possible renewal up to three years.</li></ul>
