About this position

This research fellowship is based in the Mycotoxin Prevention and Applied Microbiology (MPM) Research Unit at the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research in Peoria, Illinois, within the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service.

The project is centered on mitigating vomitoxin contamination in corn. Working with a team of scientists in genetics, microbiology, chemistry, and plant pathology, the participant will help investigate how abiotic factors increase corn susceptibility to mycotoxin contamination and contribute to disease development and toxin accumulation.

The research experience includes collaborative work on field and greenhouse inoculation studies and the development and application of mitigation strategies aimed at reducing vomitoxin levels and improving crop resilience. The opportunity is embedded in a research environment focused on enhancing food safety and crop production through interdisciplinary scientific approaches.

The mentor for this opportunity is Martha Vaughan.
