The Newton Lab at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is recruiting a Postdoctoral Scholar to begin as soon as possible in Fall 2024 to lead a research project on antimicrobial resistance in municipal wastewater treatments systems and connected receiving waters.
Application Due September 1, 2024 or until position is filled.
For further details see - https://uwm.edu/freshwater/about/employment/
The Newton lab group (http://www.newtonlabuwm.org/) at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the School of Freshwater Sciences is looking for a Postdoctoral Scholar to conduct research on the microbial ecology and antibiotic resistance of wastewater treatment systems. The anticipated start date is September/October 2024, but a later start date may be accommodated.
The ideal candidate will serve as a subject matter expert and leader of research in the areas of metagenomics, microbial community dynamics, antibiotic resistance, and environmental microbiology. The Postdoctoral Scholar will direct and contribute to a large multi-institution project focused on quantifying antimicrobial resistance loads and determining resistance gene variant dynamics through municipal wastewater treatment processes and into plant outflows. This position will also interface with other large antimicrobial resistance monitoring projects in the region and will have the opportunity to contribute to multiple projects focused on urban water systems. This is a great opportunity to apply microbiological principles to urban water issues and work with others in the water industry. A strong background in microbiology, microbial ecology, environmental engineering, or bioinformatics is preferred.
This is a full-time 12-month position and will include the following responsibilities:
Implement regional wastewater treatment plant sampling for microbial community analyses
Preform laboratory and bioinformatic analysis for genomic and metagenomic evaluation of resistance in wastewater, waste solids, and surface waters
Coordinate efforts across several large regional projects for antimicrobial resistance in clinical samples, wastewater, and wastewater treatment
Develop and publish research in peer-reviewed publications and present materials at conferences
Supervise and mentor students in the lab and associated with the project
To apply, submit a cover letter addressing your background and fit for the position, a CV, a 1-page statement of research interests and career goals, and the names and contact information of three individuals that will serve as references.
Please contact me with questions or your application for this position.

Great article with helpful information for homeowners looking to improve indoor comfort. Exploring hvac contractors near me can provide useful guidance when comparing heating and cooling installation choices.
One thing I've noticed is that packaging becomes easier to manage when businesses organize it around their product range. Choosing suitable box sizes can simplify storage, packing, and shipping without changing the products themselves. That's one reason companies continue evaluating custom boxes Los Angeles as their inventory grows.
I enjoyed this article because it explained that gift packaging is part of the overall experience rather than something added at the last minute. When someone receives a present, the box is the first thing they interact with, so it naturally influences their first impression. While researching ideas for improving product presentation, I spent some time exploring custom gift boxes UK to compare different packaging styles for retail items, seasonal gifts, and subscription products. I appreciated the section discussing how the right box size can improve both protection and appearance without adding unnecessary packaging. That practical advice is especially useful for businesses that regularly ship products to customers. During the same research, I also browsed custom boxes UK to compare packaging solutions…
I really like the practical tips included for Residential Plumbing Bloomington. The content is written in a clear and friendly style, making it easy for homeowners to understand common plumbing concerns and available local services.
