Position Title: Disease Ecology Postdoctoral Position Description: We seek a highly qualified individual to conduct research at the University of Nevada- Reno. Our research groups study disease ecology and infectious diseases dynamics in wildlife systems, including amphibian chytridiomycosis, white nose syndrome in bats, avian lice, and others. The ideal candidate for this position will have a Ph.D. in disease ecology, microbe-host interactions, innate or cell-mediated immunity or a related field, and demonstrated research experience/training in molecular biology techniques. Individuals with a solid background work in bioinformatics (experience with R and/or python), and working with proteomics data are especially encouraged to apply. We are also seeking a candidate that is hard-working, enthusiastic, resourceful, and able to work both independently as well as collaboratively across different biological research specialties. The University of Nevada at Reno (UNR) is a major academic and research facility, located in the heart of the Lake Tahoe region with countless opportunities to outdoor recreation areas, including access to Yosemite and King's Canyon National Parks. For the proposed research, the candidate will work with numerous of internationally recognized immunologists, chemical ecologists, and disease ecologists that are present at UNR. In particular, the proposed research will greatly benefit from the newly established Center for Chemical Ecology, a state-of-the-art Proteomics and Mass Spectrometry Facility, and the expertise available at the Nevada Center for Bioinformatics. In addition, the selected individual will be based in the Program for Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology, which is comprised of 50+ internationally-recognized faculty members and diverse research programs within these biological sub-disciplines. This is a one-year project and renewal is possible pending on performance and funding availability. Please send and questions and application materials (CV, statement of interest, a contact information for three references in a single pdf document) to Dr. Jamie Voyles at jvoy...@unr.edu. Applications will be reviewed immediately and continue until the ideal candidate is identified.
