Job Requisition Number: 27365. The Firestone Lab studies soil microbial ecology – examining how all those microbes interact with growing plants and with each other, how they break down carbon substrates and cycle nutrients, and how they impact exchange of gases such as CO2, CH4, and N2O between the soil and the atmosphere. Our recent projects examine topics ranging from:

1. Microbial mediation of soil carbon dynamics; 2. Processes in the zone of soil around the plant root, called the rhizosphere; 3. Using a meta-omic approach to link identity with function (from metagenomes to metatranscriptomes to metaproteomes and metabolomes); 4. Digging deeper to examine microbial communities in saprolite (proto-soil); 5. And microbial mediation of nitrogen cycling, with a particular focus on the highly reactive nitrous oxide.
