About this position

Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, United States, is seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate in Poultry Disease Diagnostics and Epidemiology.

The researcher will lead and support projects in poultry disease diagnostics, molecular epidemiology, and pathogen surveillance. Work will include designing and conducting studies using real-time PCR, sequence typing, and next-generation sequencing to evaluate, develop, and improve diagnostic assays for poultry diseases. The position will investigate disease transmission patterns, distinguish primary and secondary pathogens, and contribute to understanding disease emergence and spread in poultry populations.

The role also involves technical leadership within the laboratory, training and supervising students and staff, maintaining laboratory operations, analyzing complex datasets, publishing in peer-reviewed journals, contributing to grant development, and presenting findings at scientific meetings. Research is conducted within Veterinary Diagnostic and Production Animal Medicine, a program focused on animal health, food safety, population medicine, and sustainable food production.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Poultry Medicine or a closely related field focused on poultry infectious diseases by the start date. Preferred experience includes molecular diagnostic assay development and validation, poultry or veterinary clinical diagnostics, virology, microbiology, phylogenetics, sequence typing, molecular epidemiology, next-generation sequencing, and bioinformatics. A strong publication and presentation record is desirable.

The appointment is scheduled to begin December 1, 2026. It is a 12-month, full-time postdoctoral position with comprehensive employee benefits, including health coverage, retirement benefits, leave, insurance, and wellbeing resources. Apply online with a completed employment application, CV or resume, and cover letter by November 9, 2026.
