Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Wildlife Toxicology​/Parasitology

Position Overview

We seek a post‑doctoral research associate in wildlife toxicology/parasitology to join our dynamic research team to advance new science and knowledge related to the role of parasites in avian wildlife populations integrating medicated feed treatment in the natural environment. The individual will assist us in a large‑scale project to evaluate the role of parasitic infections on avian populations and will involve both laboratory and field research.

The individual selected should have outstanding credentials in interdisciplinary research and the ability to work in the field and laboratory on avian research issues. Strong analytical skills, field and laboratory skills with avian wildlife, a strong desire and ability for scientific publication, and a willingness to work in an interdisciplinary team in a very aggressive mode of operation to address a complex environmental research project are preferred.

Ph.D. in wildlife toxicology/ecology/parasitology. Experience in field and laboratory research, particularly involving birds. Capabilities of advancement of molecular parasitology techniques would be highly desired. Strong analytical and computer skills, laboratory and field experience in wildlife biology, particularly related to parasitology. Strong publication skills and the ability to work with the research team to develop and implement new research projects as our research program continues to unfold with new discoveries and solutions.

Since we are an off‑campus research site in a relatively remote area, applicants must have a driver’s license for transport.
