About this position

USDA-APHIS Chronic Wasting Disease Study Fellowship is a research opportunity with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) in Fort Collins, Colorado. The project sits within the National Wildlife Research Center’s Chronic Wasting Disease Project and focuses on delivering research products that protect producers and natural resources from wildlife diseases and damage.

The fellow will contribute to the continued development and implementation of a multistate adaptive management framework for white-tailed deer and chronic wasting disease (CWD). This includes collaborating with state wildlife agencies, researchers, and other partners to build and operationalize a cross-jurisdictional experimental approach, support data-sharing agreements, and help ensure that interventions and evaluation procedures are rigorous, feasible, and consistently implemented across participating agencies.

The appointment also offers the possibility of contributing to broader NWRC-led wildlife disease research activities. These may include wildlife immobilization, animal sampling and handling, postmortem examinations, and laboratory-based analyses such as diagnostic assays and other bench techniques that support wildlife disease research.

Training is described as spanning ecological and epidemiological data collection, integration of ecological and human dimensions pilot-study components, and data repository design for long-term collaboration, sharing, and analysis. The fellowship is embedded in a federal wildlife research environment that links disease ecology, applied management, and multi-agency cooperation.

Mentorship is provided by Jennifer Malmberg at USDA-APHIS.
