Job Description:
Position overview
The Institute of Veterinary, Animal, and Biomedical Sciences at Massey University has a three-year fixed-term vacancy for a Molecular Epidemiology Postdoctoral Fellow. As the successful candidate, you will have the opportunity to work with globally renowned researchers in the University’s Infectious Disease Research Centre (IDReC). Ideally, you will have experience in infectious disease molecular epidemiology and evolutionary genetics of infectious disease, although expertise in other areas of biology would be considered. You will have the opportunity to work within a multidisciplinary group including bioinformaticians, statisticians, microbiologists and veterinarians with expertise in veterinary public health and epidemiology.
The position will be based in the Molecular Epidemiology and Public Health Laboratory (mEpiLab) of the Hopkirk Research Institute, Palmerston North. Your primary responsibility will be contributing to a range of studies from whole-genome analyses to the molecular epidemiology of zoonotic bacteria, including Salmonella, pathogenic Escherichia coli, and Campylobacter. Epidemiology of zoonotic viruses and protozoa are also studied in the group.
As the successful applicant, you will be able to work with minimal supervision, but also work collaboratively, have sound organisational and communication skills, and be attentive to detail. The position would suit someone seeking further research experience while transitioning to become an independent researcher in infectious disease bioinformatics and computational biology.
Please direct enquiries to Prof Nigel French: N.P.French@massey.ac.nz or Dr David Hayman: D.T.S.Hayman@massey.ac.nz
