Post-Doctoral Associate Position(s)
Title: Metabolic Network Modeling and Systems Analysis of BioEnergy Microbes for Conversion of Lignocellulosic Biomass into Biofuels, Biochemicals, and Biomaterials
A postdoctoral scholar position is available in Dr. Trinh's laboratory in The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The project involves the development and application of metabolic network modeling and systems analysis tools to fundamentally study metabolisms and guide strain engineering for effective conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels, biochemicals, and biomaterials. An interested candidate is expected to hold a Ph.D. degree in chemical engineering, bioengineering, bioinformatics, computer science, and/or related fields with a proven track record of refereed publications. Candidates with strong computational skills and backgrounds in metabolic network modeling, bioinformatics, OMCS analysis, optimization theory, computer programming, and/or high-performance computing are highly preferred. The contract is on a one-year basis and can be extended based on the research progress and funding availability. An interested candidate should send his/her curriculum vitae including contact information of three references to Dr. Trinh via email at ctrinh@utk.edu.

About Knoxville and the Heart of East Tennessee
Knoxville draws enthusiastic praise as a great place to live. Located in the heart of East Tennessee with the Great Smoky Mountains for a backyard, Knoxville offers the charm of a small Southern city with opportunities and activities that range from green energy initiatives to thriving culinary and music scenes. Citing both affordability and quality of life, U.S. News and World Report ranked Knoxville among the 100 best places to live in 2017.
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, about an hour away, is home to more than 800 miles of maintained trails that are perfect for hiking and camping. Numerous rivers and lakes in the region provide easily accessible sites for fishing, kayaking, and tubing. Closer to home, Knoxville itself has more than 100 miles of greenway trails, some of which connect to our acclaimed Urban Wilderness-1,000 acres of parks, trails, and forests along Knoxville's south waterfront, less than a mile from downtown.
With its low cost of living and affordable real estate, Knoxville is a great place to put down roots. Housing options are suited to a wide variety of tastes, with downtown buildings, walkable historic neighborhoods, riverfront properties, suburban areas, and even country life within convenient commuting range. Both the L&N STEM Academy, a magnet school near campus, and Farragut High School are ranked among the best public high schools in the state.
