About this position

This postdoctoral research opportunity is with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) in Athens, Georgia, at the US National Poultry Research Center. The project is housed in the Exotic and Emerging Avian Viral Diseases unit, where the team focuses on highly pathogenic avian influenza in poultry and livestock.

The selected researcher will contribute to a multidisciplinary effort to evaluate and develop vaccines against HPAI. The work centers on vaccine efficacy, transmission dynamics, diagnostics, and pathobiology, with a strong emphasis on understanding how field viruses behave in vaccinated animals and how vaccination can be used within integrated disease-control programs.

Research activities include assessing commercial and experimental vaccines, studying whether circulating viruses can infect or spread among vaccinated animals, and evaluating DIVA strategies to distinguish infected from vaccinated animals. The project also examines immune correlates of protection and antigenic relationships between vaccine strains and field strains to inform vaccine selection and effectiveness.

The opportunity offers experience in avian-influenza vaccinology within a federal research environment and collaborative team setting focused on outbreak-response science, diagnostics, and transmission research.

Stipend of $64,625.00 to $86,007.00 yearly; appointment initially for one year and may be renewed contingent on funds.
