Postdoctoral Research Associate
Our research explores how fungi respond and adapt to global climate change, helping us understand the consequences for ecosystems and tackle central questions in microbial ecosystem ecology and microbial evolution. Our core mission is to produce knowledge that informs planning and mitigation of global warming on Earth, while answering long-standing questions about microbial ecology and how ecosystem-level changes influence biogeochemical cycles. We are located in the Department of Biology at New Mexico State University.
