The University of Georgia’s Poultry Diagnostic and Research Center (PDRC) and College of Veterinary Medicine are recruiting a tenure-track faculty member in Poultry Health at the Assistant or Associate Professor level.

This is a 9-month academic appointment in Athens, Georgia, with responsibilities in research (70%), teaching (20%), and service (10%). The successful candidate will build an independent, extramurally funded research program focused on infectious disease challenges in the poultry industry. Research areas of interest include avian virology, bacteriology, parasitology, immunology, vaccinology, and related disciplines, including work on interactions between poultry management practices and disease.

The role includes undergraduate and graduate teaching, mentoring students, and collaborating with faculty across the PDRC, the College of Veterinary Medicine, and other UGA colleges and centers. The post is especially relevant to researchers interested in poultry pathogens, disease surveillance, diagnostics, and translational veterinary research.

For Associate Professor level, candidates must also have at least 5 years of experience in rank at Assistant Professor level before the start date. A DVM or equivalent, postdoctoral experience, poultry industry experience, and a strong record of teaching/research productivity are preferred.

Application materials: CV, cover letter describing research goals and teaching philosophy (max 3 pages), and three professional references. Questions may be directed to Dr. Naola Ferguson-Noel ([email protected]).

Deadline: August 3, 2026 for full consideration; applications accepted until the position is filled.
