A postdoctoral position is available in the Bonachela lab (Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Natural Resources, DEENR , Rutgers University), in close collaboration with the Bidle and Thamatrakoln labs (Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences, DMCS , Rutgers University), to investigate the phenotypic plasticity of phytoplankton viruses. The scholar will join a Simons Foundation project that aims to quantify and characterize the dependence of viral traits on the physiology of different marine phytoplankton hosts. Building on recent empirical and theoretical developments (see You et al, Journal of Bacteriology 2002; Choua and Bonachela, AmNat 2019), the successful candidate will work with the research team to develop and advance protocols to study the plasticity of viruses that infect different Chaetoceros diatom host systems in culture. This includes culturing diatoms in chemostats under different growth conditions; conducting infection experiments; and assessing one-step infection dynamics using an array of diagnostic molecular techniques, such as fluorescence in situ hybridization ( FISH ), flow cytometry, and qPCR. With that information, the successful candidate will measure viral traits, and use statistical analysis to characterize how these traits depend on host physiology. We are looking for independent, creative, motivated individuals with a strong experimental and molecular biology background, coupled with a keen interest in theory. The successful candidate will also be expected to plan and develop their research, and disseminate results at national/international conferences and high-impact journals. The Bonachela lab is highly multidisciplinary and collaborative, so the candidate will be expected to contribute to (and benefit from) such an environment. The New Jersey area and, specifically, Rutgers and the DEENR and DMCS departments offer a vibrant academic life and multiple opportunities for personal and professional development.

Overview
The School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, located on the George H. Cook Campus, is one of the largest schools of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. We pursue excellence in research, teaching, and outreach in areas of study that address the biological spectrum from molecules to ecosystems. Our emphasis is on both the fundamental sciences and the social and human dimensions. The Department of Ecology, Evolution and Natural Resources is an interdisciplinary department specializing in ecology, evolution, and natural resource conservation. We study the evolutionary origins and maintenance of biodiversity, conserving and restoring native ecosystems, and issues of global change such as managing natural resources within urban ecosystems. This is a grant-funded position whose eligibility for renewal will be contingent upon available funding and satisfactory performance.
