Required qualifications for this position that must be met by the date of application include: Ph.D. in Life Sciences or a related field. 

Preferred qualifications for this position include: The candidate should have a strong background in the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying the spread of human viral, bacterial, or parasitic pathogens that are transmitted by arthropods. Areas of research emphasis may include molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis, vector host preference, transmission biology, host-vector-pathogen relationships, vector population genetics, genetic mechanisms of insecticide resistance, and the development of new genetic strategies or approaches to be used to control arthropod-vectored human diseases. Postdoctoral research experience is preferred.
