[ECOLOG-L] Faculty position- Pathogen Surveillance and Discovery -University of MInnesota

[Meggan Craft]

University of Minnesota, College of Veterinary Medicine
Pathogen Surveillance and Discovery – AGREETT Faculty Position (Job ID: 315742)

POSITION: A new strategic university-wide emphasis on Global Systems Science, 
and 
university-wide investment into Agricultural Research, Education, Extension and 
Technology Transfer (AGREETT) program (http://www.cfans.umn.edu/agreett ), has 
prompted the University of Minnesota, College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) into 
hiring a 
cluster of at least six faculty members in the broad area of infectious disease 
across its 
three Departments. The Veterinary Population Medicine Department (VPM) invites 
applications for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position in pathogen 
surveillance and 
discovery, with emphasis on zoonotic/emerging infectious diseases. The 
appointment is 
expected to be at the rank of assistant, associate or professor position. The 
final rank and 
terms of appointment will depend on the qualifications and experience of the 
selected 
candidate consistent with collegiate and University policies.

Production-limiting diseases, whether they occur as ongoing endemic disease 
conditions 
or as newly introduced diseases that create devastating pandemics, can lead to 
significant 
economic hardship for both producers and consumers. The world population is 
expected 
to reach 9.5 billion by 2050, with an associated dramatic increase in 
consumption of 
animal protein. Early detection and control of persistent, emerging, and 
re-emerging 
animal pathogens in aquatic and terrestrial systems is vital to address this 
growing 
demand. The CVM and Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (VDL) have been national 
leaders 
in utilizing molecular diagnostics and ultrastructural pathology to identify, 
characterize, 
survey, and control new pathogens.  A pathogen discovery specialist is needed 
to utilize 
emerging technologies such as nanotechnology and the various “–omics,” 
including 
genomics and metabolomics, to allow enhanced pathogen diagnostics in 
domesticated 
animals, wildlife, and food products.  Incorporation of these new technologies 
could 
revolutionize diagnostic testing, disease surveillance, and control, fostering 
the 
development and use of farm-side and field testing for infectious diseases. Any 
adoption 
of field-based testing will require integration with diagnostic centers to 
ensure that 
equipment and results are validated regularly and data warehousing and 
interpretation is 
available and informative.

RESPONSIBILITIES:  A primary responsibility of the position will be to 
establish and 
maintain a high-quality extramurally funded research program. There will also 
be 
opportunities to co-teach in professional (DVM) and graduate (MS, MPH, PhD) 
courses. It 
will be essential for the pathogen surveillance and discovery faculty member to 
interact 
with the Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic laboratory on a day to day basis. The 
MNVDL is a 
frontline defense for the emergence and detection of pathogens.  

The VPM department has an internationally recognized infectious diseases 
program, with 
active research projects involving use of animal models of infectious diseases, 
vaccine 
development, and investigation of microbial pathogenesis, host-pathogen 
interactions and 
impact of microbiome/metagenomics in diseases. We are seeking a highly 
motivated 
candidate with the potential to develop an internationally recognized research 
program 
that complements the existing expertise within infectious diseases programs and 
links to 
the VDL at the CVM.  The position is expected to contribute substantively to 
global 
systems sciences, using integrated systems-level approaches to understand and 
manage 
the emergence of infectious diseases and elucidate the relevance of 
relationships between 
microbial organisms, their animal and human hosts, and the environment. 

For more information about the College and Department and the Minnesota 
Veterinary 
Diagnostic lab please visit 
http://www.vetmed.umn.edu/departments/veterinary-and-
biomedical-sciences/cluster-faculty-hires.  

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS: Candidate requirements for this position include a PhD 
related to biomedical science and a strong record of research funding and 
publications.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: Candidates with DVM and PhD are particularly 
encouraged 
to apply.

SALARY AND START-UP PACKAGE:  Highly competitive and commensurate with 
experience and qualifications. The University offers an excellent benefits 
package.  For 
example, the University pays 100% of the premium for Faculty Basic Life 
Insurance as well 
as 100% of the premium for Faculty Group Income Disability Insurance.  Faculty 
contributes 
5.5% of their annual salary and the University contributes 10% toward the 
Faculty 
Retirement Plan.  There are also two Optional Retirement Plans available.  For 
more 
benefits information see https://humanresources.umn.edu/benefits.

[ECOLOG-L] Short course: Radiocarbon in the Earth System

[Carlos A. Sierra]

The Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry and the University of
California Irvine, with support from the European Research Council, are
organizing the short course Radiocarbon in the Earth System. 
This course will take place between September 24-27, 2017, in Jena, Germany. 

This course will expose participants to the uses of radiocarbon in ecology
and earth system science. Classroom activities provide an overview of
radiocarbon in the current and past global carbon cycle as well as in the
atmosphere, oceans and terrestrial ecosystems. Hands-on activities focus on
creating a tracer-free lab environment and avoiding contamination in the
field and lab, collecting samples in the field, choosing standards and
blanks, processing and analyzing samples in the laboratory, and analyzing
and interpreting radiocarbon data.
We seek participants with broad interests in ecology and earth system
science who are planning on, or are currently, using radiocarbon techniques
as part of their research, and wish to expand their understanding of this
important and useful tool. This course is suitable for graduate students,
postdocs and researchers, and welcomes others with a strong interest. 

For more information and to apply, visit the course website:

My three main reasons for marching are as follows:

*advocate for science-informed decision making

*demonstrate that scientists are engaged and productive members of our society

*serve as a role model for my students (e.g., that I care about my profession 
and what I teach)

[Ceres Barros]

Dear ECOLOG-ers,

I can’t add much to what has been said already, but I still wanted to show my 
support for this cause.

I’m not American, nor am I living in the US, but I can assure you (and you 
probably know this as well) that the European scientific community is also 
extremely worried about these issues, as you can gather from the hundreds of 
satellite marches that are being organised on this side of the ocean.

I will be certainly joining my local satellite march on Saturday, despite 
having to hand-in my PhD thesis only a few days later. I honestly feel this is 
bigger than my personal career-related achievements and hope that others feel 
the same.

Cheers,
Ceres Barros

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Hollywood star wants to study whales, jellyfish and a clarification....

[Mike Nolan]

list members

first of all i wanted to thank all the people that responded to me based 
on my comments on this post to ecolog-l a few days ago. some interesting 
comments. most were also copied to back to the list. so, i did not 
summarize here.


one person that did not send her post to the listwon't share it 
hear, far too nasty, completely misinterpreted my intentions.


i did not name names and i should have also said i was not including 
actress alison sudol either. by the way, i did not know this, but thanks 
to professor jerry howard of the u. of new orleans i learned this: 
"However, we need to cultivate those whose interest is genuine and 
Alison Sudol is one.  She is a goodwill ambassador for IUCN.". so, i 
wanted to thank him for that update. kudos to her.


as it seems or so i read that money/income seems to be getting more and 
more concentrated at the upper end of society world-wide, i am just 
hoping that these fewer and fewer people that have more than they or 
anyone would ever need to live on, would donate more of their money to 
the many causes around the world that could use more of their wealth.


i was not suggesting that anyone needing or wanting money for their 
cause should turn away a penny. that wouldn't make too much sense.


no, we may never know what someone's real motive is in giving away their 
money or time. in the end, i guess it doesn't really matter.


also, didn't mention any names, so i wasn't slamming any one individual 
and i really had nobody in mind.


i have written letters and e-mails to celebrities asking them for their 
money or time. have been much more successful on getting some time than 
money.


with that said, was not trying to upset anyone on this fine list. also 
wanted to add thishave seen some very fine listservs come and go 
over the past 20 years. some of them were so good and so helpful, am not 
really sure whey they disappeared, as they were still very active when 
they did disappear. ecolog-l, a testament to esa and ecolog-l  moderator 
david inouye, ph.d., it just seems to keep moving along


thanks and have a great thursday.
