The Karen C. Drayer Wildlife Health Center at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife Wildlife Health Laboratory are accepting applications for a residency position in free-ranging wildlife health, beginning August 1, 2022.
This postdoctoral position will work on the Surveillance Optimization Project for Chronic Wasting Disease (SOP4CWD).
This is an excellent opportunity to develop a framework for understanding and managing spillover at the wildlife-livestock interface that will be applied in practice. The candidate will gain experience in working on a collaborative team with managers and researchers while expanding their skills in quantitative ecology and the scope of their professional networks.
The successful applicant will join a multidisciplinary team using empirical experiments, laboratory diagnostic tools, and statistical and mathematical modeling to investigate the individual and interactive effects of food resources and helminth coinfections on virus infection dynamics in wildlife.
The individual hired onto this project will use both quantitative and qualitative human dimensions methods (surveys and interviews) to study Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus 2 (RHDV2).
