About this position
Colorado State University’s One Health Institute is advertising a Postdoctoral Fellow position based in Fort Collins, Colorado, United States, with eligible hybrid/on-site work and travel for international field activities. The fellowship sits at the intersection of public health, biology, veterinary science, medical science, and environmental science, supporting the Center for Bat One Health Investigations, Research, and Outbreak Response (CHIRO) and related One Health initiatives.
The role is strongly research-oriented and combines field and laboratory work. Responsibilities include bat field surveillance, animal capture and biological specimen collection, partner laboratory training, molecular analyses, data collection and analysis, manuscript preparation, and contributing to grant development and stakeholder engagement. The fellow will also help with mentoring trainees, outreach, teaching support, and interdisciplinary collaboration across human, animal, and environmental health themes.
Applicants should hold a doctoral or professional degree in veterinary medicine, infectious disease, virology, microbiology, immunology and pathology, wildlife biology, or a related discipline. Required skills include prior bat capture and sampling experience, work with infectious or potentially infectious materials, molecular methods such as PCR and sequencing, scientific data analysis, and strong project management. International travel ability and authorization to work in the United States without visa sponsorship are also required.
The salary range is $70,000–$72,000. The posting does not mention tuition support or a scholarship; this is a paid postdoctoral employment opportunity. For full consideration, applications should be submitted by 2026-11-09 through the CSU Workday portal with a cover letter and CV/resume.
