About this position

USDA-ARS is offering a postdoctoral fellowship in swine viral disease research at the National Animal Disease Center in Ames, Iowa, United States. The project sits in the endemic swine viruses laboratory group of the Virus and Prion Research Unit and focuses on veterinary science, virology, immunology, pathology, and related computational biology approaches.

The research centers on live animal studies with conventional swine across production stages, primarily involving PRRSV (porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus) and PEDV (porcine epidemic diarrhea virus). Fellows will participate in study design, infectious challenge work, sampling, necropsies, specimen processing, and laboratory analyses such as nucleic acid extraction, RT-qPCR, ELISA, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, cell culture, and RNA sequencing. There are also opportunities to interpret results, write reports, present findings, publish, travel, and collaborate with scientists across ARS, academic institutions, and research consortia.

Eligibility: applicants must be pursuing or have completed a doctoral degree (DVM, PhD, or MD) in a relevant field. The degree must have been earned within the last five years or be expected by 2027-05-31. Preferred experience includes swine veterinary science, virology, immunology, animal care and use ethics, BSL-2 research, and laboratory assays on animal-derived samples.

Funding: stipend of $75,000–$95,000 per year. The appointment is full time, initially for one year, and may be renewed depending on funding and recommendation. Proof of health insurance is required; participants are not employees of USDA, ARS, DOE, or ORAU.
