NIST only participates in the February and August reviews.
This suite of projects seeks to advance the microbial metabolomics infrastructure through the development of new analytical methods, including data analysis and novel statistical approaches. We are particularly interested in characterizing microbial cells in the planktonic state as well as communities of cells. We are seeking researchers interested in developing analytical strategies for the characterization of metabolic profiles of microbial communities, identification of unknown metabolites, and development of reference materials, all based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy- and mass spectrometry (MS)-based metabolomics.
We work in an interdisciplinary environment; a successful candidate should be interested in navigating between experiments (wet lab) and data analysis with a focus on either aspect of the work. Proposals describing research that leads to new tools and/or methods for improving confidence in microbial measurement are strongly encouraged. Candidates interested in acquiring experience with chemometrics and multivariate statistics are highly desired. Feel free to reach out to learn more about this opportunity.
