New Postdoctoral Position- Insecticide Resistance Monitoring
We are seeking to fill a postdoctoral research associate position in the area of insecticide resistance monitoring of mosquito disease vectors in the northeastern United States. A primary goal of our team is to determine the status and extent of resistance in the region through a resistance monitoring, detection, and spatial mapping program. In addition, the successful candidate may be involved in the evaluation of new insecticides for control of regional mosquito and tick vectors. The position is part of the CDC-funded Northeast Regional Center for Excellence in Vector-Borne Diseases (NEVBD), carrying many opportunities to interact with our leadership team and collaborators across the region.
