5. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The team of investigators from Michigan State University, Argonne National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will work together to acquire a fundamental understanding of how multi-step reaction pathways are confined within and optimized by selectively permeable protein-based shells of Bacterial Microcompartments (BMCs). The CCBC will apply this knowledge to establish BMC shell proteins as building blocks that can be used for confined, hierarchically-ordered biological and synthetic multi-step catalysis for reactions with long-range goals that involve addressing global challenges related to energy and the environment.

15. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Predator-prey relationships are a defining feature of all ecological systems. Flexible prey defensive (i.e., “anti-predator”) traits that reduce predation are widely believed to shape these relationships and diverse terms describe this paradigm including ‘risk effects’, ‘trait-mediated’, ‘non-consumptive’, and ‘ecology of fear’. The defensive trait response has a benefit of reduced predation risk, but also a fitness cost. Such costs to fitness, (“non-consumptive effects”, NCEs) may in turn reduce prey abundance. The prey’s trait response may also affect the fitness and abundance other species the prey interacts with (termed “trait-mediated indirect effects”; TMIEs) including the prey’s resources.
