About this position
This research opportunity is with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service in Ames, Iowa, where the participant will join projects focused on improving intervention strategies against intracellular bacterial infections, especially tuberculosis and brucellosis, in domestic livestock and wildlife.
The work combines bioinformatic and immunologic approaches to characterize host immune responses to infection and vaccination. The student will gain experience with genomics and transcriptomics, including single-cell transcriptomics and genomic analysis, while contributing to the preparation of immunologic samples for sequencing-based analysis.
The position also includes exposure to laboratory work supporting in vivo studies, such as sample collection and other activities related to immunologic analysis. The research environment is within ARS, the USDA’s in-house scientific research agency, which focuses on agricultural solutions and scientific innovation for the benefit of farmers, producers, communities, and natural resources.
Mentorship is provided by Dr. Darrell Bayles.
