Job description

This is position is paying $15.20 per hour.

This summer research assistant will work to analyze microbial amplicon, metagenomic, and viromic datasets. This will include dataset QA/QC, descriptive statistics, differential analysis, and working to elucidate meaninful descriptions of microbial communities across three Lake Champlain sites and similarities and differences across sites and between seasons

Core Responsibilities:

  • Utilize R and high performance computing resources for data analysis.
  • Keep detailed records and descriptive code to contribute to data analysis pipeline SOPs.
  • Complete data visualizations of microbial community data toward 1-2 manuscripts for publication.
  • Gain biological understanding of Lake Champlain microbial communities, and how they relate to site and seasonal differences

Requirements

  • Proficient in manipulating data using R and/or Python
  • Have taken one or more of these courses, or their equivalent, BIOL 211, STAT 116, STAT 118, STAT 201, CSCI 321
  • Ideally have taken BIOL 140 and/or BIOL 145, but not required.
  • Self-motivated and organized, good at managing self-directed schedule.
  • Can work remotely, on campus, or a mix of both, for ~40hrs/wk for 8-10 weeks summer 2026
