6. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Department of Population Health Sciences in conjunction with the School of Plant & Environmental Sciences at Virginia Tech are looking to hire a a Postdoctoral Associate for a clinical trial study/project. Ivermectin mass drug administration (iMDA) is currently being evaluated in clinical trials as a strategy for malaria vector control. The BOHEMIA (Broad One Health Endectocide-based Malaria Intervention in Africa) project is implementing a clinical trial for iMDA in Mozambique, focusing on the use of ivermectin in humans and pigs; and in Kenya, focusing on humans and cattle. The study is designed to determine the safety and efficacy of iMDA, and will generate One Health data needed to support a policy recommendation for its use as a new vector control tool in malaria endemic regions.

7. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The newly established urban entomology research lab of Dr. Warren Booth in the Department of Entomology at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University is recruiting a 1-year (with possibility of a second-year reappointment) postdoctoral researcher to study insecticide resistance evolution in indoor urban pest insects. The successful candidate will primarily be responsible for the investigation of insecticide resistance evolution in field-derived German cockroach populations through behavioral and high-throughput biochemical assay-based experiments.
The main objectives are (i) to quantify resistance levels to insecticide active ingredients, (ii) to investigate the relationship between population size and cross-resistance profiles, and (iii) to collaborate with the lab of Dr. Dini Miller (Virginia Tech) to develop methods for the rapid assessment of resistance levels in field cockroach strains.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
8. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
A Postdoctoral Associate position is available within the Amanda Morris research group to support our recently awarded National Science Foundation program. The program is focused on the preparation and photo(electro)chemical characterization of molecularly modified titania surfaces for applications in photocatalysis and quantum sciences.
The project will involve the synthesis of small inorganic and organic molecules for deposition on nanocrystalline titanium dioxide. Characterization techniques such as cyclic voltammetry, UV-Vis spectroscopy, NMR, fluorescence spectroscopy (steady-state and time-resolved), and transient laser spectroscopy (femto- and nano-second absorption and nanosecond infrared) analysis will be components of the work.
