About this position

This USDA-ARS fellowship is based in Ames, Iowa, and focuses on improving strategies to prevent tuberculosis and brucellosis in domestic livestock and wildlife. The project sits within the Agricultural Research Service, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s in-house research agency, and is framed around advancing scientific tools and solutions for agricultural animal health and related biosecurity challenges.

The selected fellow will contribute to research developing better vaccines and diagnostics using molecular, microbiological, pathological, and immunological approaches. The work includes both in vitro laboratory studies and in vivo animal research, with handling of zoonotic bacteria and experience in biolevel 3 conditions. The project also involves sampling domestic livestock and wildlife, making it especially relevant for a veterinary scientist interested in infectious disease research at the interface of animals and zoonoses.

The position is mentored by Jarlath Nally at USDA-ARS. The opportunity offers a structured research training environment within a federal agricultural research setting, with a strong emphasis on prevention strategies, translational animal health research, and practical laboratory and field skills.

Funding details

Stipend of $87,000 to $99,000 per year; appointment initially for one year and may be renewed contingent on funding availability.
