We are particularly interested in the acquisition and bioaccumulation of thiophilic trace metals that are in high demand for renewable energy technologies from pyritic ores including nickel, cobalt, and molybdenum. We seek to add to our dynamic working environment to build integrated expertise that spans microbial physiology, biochemistry, electron microscopy, spectroscopy, omics approaches, electrochemistry, and geochemistry.
