(Geo)microbiology postdocs



To American citizens and permanent residents:

Below is an announcement out of the Biology Directorate (DBI) at NSF
concerning postdocs in Microbiology.  These include candidates interested in
Geomicrobiology.  An international component would probably strengthen an
application.  Check it out on the NSF website (www.nsf.gov).  Contact me or
a Program Director in the Division of Biological Infrastructure if you have
other questions.

Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Microbial Biology
                           Supports training and research on the basic
biology of protozoan,
                           microalgal, fungal, archaeal, bacterial, and
viral species that are not
                           generally considered to be model organisms, e.g.,
E. coli,
                           Saccharomyces cerevesiae, TMV. The use of model
organisms in
                           comparative studies with non-model organisms is
not excluded.
                           Studies of the interactions of these microbes
among each other
                           and with plants and animals, e.g., symbiosis, may
also be
                           supported. Applicants are reminded that BIO does
not support
                           research with disease-related goals, including
the etiology,
                           diagnosis, or treatment of physical or mental
disease, abnormality,
                           or malfunction in human beings or animals. Animal
or plant models
                           of such conditions or the development or testing
of drugs or other
                           procedures for their treatment also are not
eligible for support.
