About this position

This postdoctoral research opportunity is based with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service in Athens, Georgia, within the Exotic and Emerging Avian Viral Diseases Unit at the U.S. National Poultry Research Center. The unit works on vaccinology, pathobiology, and diagnostics for emerging and re-emerging poultry viruses.

The project focuses on controlling emerging avian metapneumovirus (AMPV) in poultry. New AMPV subtypes have recently been detected in the United States and are spreading across poultry sectors, creating a need for practical vaccine-based control measures. The selected researcher will join a team developing AMPV vaccines and vaccination strategies that can be applied in U.S. poultry production, while also helping to evaluate and develop immunologic assays that can be used to predict vaccine efficacy.

Under mentor Chang Lee, the postdoctoral researcher will gain experience in vaccine development for avian respiratory viruses, assessment of vaccine safety and protective effectiveness, and laboratory approaches that connect immune-response measurements with decisions about vaccine selection and deployment. The opportunity is embedded in a research environment focused on poultry-health challenges and collaborative work across virology, immunology, and vaccine development.
