About this position

Indiana University School of Public Health-Bloomington is advertising a Postdoctoral Fellow position in the Capone Lab within the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health.

The project is a CDC-funded five-year study focused on developing and applying integrated surveillance approaches for soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infection in the southeastern United States. The fellow will work at the intersection of environmental health microbiology, parasitology, epidemiology, and public health surveillance.

Research activities include analysis of human and environmental samples such as wastewater, septage, soil, flies, and stool, together with microscopy and molecular methods including digital PCR. The lab’s broader research interests include public health surveillance using fecal waste streams, microbial fate and transport, the role of infrastructure in interrupting enteric pathogen transmission, and predicting public health outcomes using quantitative microbial risk assessment.

Applicants should have a PhD in environmental health, environmental engineering, environmental science, microbiology, or a related field by the time of appointment. Experience with project management, molecular microbiology methods, quantitative data analysis, fieldwork, environmental sampling, and strong communication skills is preferred. The group is especially interested in candidates who want to build an independent research profile and mentor undergraduate, master’s, and PhD students.

The position offers the chance to lead scientific work, coordinate laboratory activities, develop and optimize laboratory methods, analyze complex environmental and epidemiologic data, and pursue peer-reviewed publications and independent research questions. Additional opportunities may include travel to study sites in Virginia and Alabama and participation in domestic and international projects.

Applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis, with full consideration for materials received by October 5, 2026. The expected start date is October 19, 2026. Interested candidates should submit a CV, cover letter, writing sample, and three references through the PeopleAdmin application link.

Funding details

The postdoctoral fellow position is supported by a five-year CDC-funded study. The posting notes resources for conference travel and access to formal training in grant writing, research ethics, rigor and reproducibility, and research management, but does not specify salary or stipend details.

What's required

Applicants must have a PhD in environmental health, environmental engineering, environmental science, microbiology, or a related scientific field by the time of appointment. Preferred experience includes project management, molecular microbiology methods such as nucleic acid extraction, qPCR and dPCR, quantitative data analysis, fieldwork and environmental sampling, strong written and oral communication skills, and interest in mentoring undergraduate, master’s, and PhD students. Prior experience with helminths is not required.

How to apply

Prepare a CV, cover letter summarizing research interests and fit, a writing sample, and a list of three references. Submit the application through the PeopleAdmin posting link provided in the announcement.
