We are thrilled to have Melissa Shinfuku join the DeAngelis lab! Melissa is a graduate student in Microbiology, and she comes to us with a Bachelor's in Microbial Biology from the University of California, Berkeley, lots of lab experience, and a real passion for soils. Welcome Melissa to the lab!
The DeAngelis lab is looking for undergraduate students to study the microbial ecology and evolution of climate change. If this seems interesting to you, please contact Kristen (deanglis@microbio.umass.edu). Include your resume or CV and indicate which opportunity you are most interested in. More information after the jump...
We are always looking for graduate students to work on defining genetic and genomic proxies of carbon use efficiency (CUE), microbial traits associated with chronic stress and climate change, improving lignocellulosic biofuels, and bioinformatics to enhance our understanding of links between genotypes and phenotypes in isolates and mixed communities. The successful candidates are interested in microbial ecology and physiology of soil organisms, and integration of microbial physiology, community interactions and modeling. Please contact the PI for more details.
Check out my slideshare for my Microbial Diversity class slides. This course is based off of James Brown's textbook Principles of Microbial Diversity, published by ASM Press in 2014.
