Job Description

The Research Fellow will be responsible for leading the microbial ecology component of the project, focusing on how seawater intrusion alters microbial community structure, assembly processes, and functional pathways linked to carbon cycling in tropical peatland plantations. The incumbent will conduct and coordinate microbial sampling of peat soils and canal waters during field campaigns in Indonesia and Malaysia, oversee laboratory-based molecular analyses, and perform advanced bioinformatic and statistical analyses of microbiome data. Working closely with the PI, Co-PI, and collaborators, the RF will integrate microbial results with biogeochemical, gas flux, and environmental datasets, contribute to cross-work-package synthesis, and lead or co-author peer-reviewed publications arising from the project.
