A post-doctoral research position at the University of Michigan (USA) under the supervision of Professor Herek Clack is anticipated to become available in January 2023 for the purposes of leading the bioaerosol aging, exposure, and sampling components of the MITIGATE FLU* study (*Multidisciplinary InvesTIGATion to Ease transmission of inFLUenza) an integrated, multi-site study of influenza transmission. MITIGATE FLU is designed to broadly advance our understanding of influenza transmission through the execution of several interdependent study components. Study components range from laboratory experiments to assess virus environmental aging effects; to in vivo studies of influenza transmission among ferrets under controlled environmental conditions; to multi-year, longitudinal epidemiological studies of influenza transmission among children attending instrumented day care centers. The anticipated start date for the position is early 2023.

A post-doctoral research scholar position in the area of bio aerosols is available in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan (USA), under the supervision of Professor Herek Clack. Duties will predominantly involve experimental investigations of aerosol dynamics in response to imposed electric fields, as well as physico-chemical characterization of bioaerosols exposed to a range of environmental conditions. Experiments will involve both existing and newly developed experimental platforms and aerosol diagnostic tools. The anticipated start date for the position is early 2023.

The Duhaime and Wigginton labs at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor are seeking a postdoctoral scholar to work with us at the intersection of engineering, virology, and public health to mitigate transmission of influenza in childcare settings. We are seeking someone excited to apply microbial metagenomics (short and long-read sequencing), bioinformatics, and molecular biology techniques to identify novel biomarkers for the presence of human viruses in the environment. The researcher would be part of a multi-institutional study with an interdisciplinary team studying influenza viruses in the environment. The postdoc will work in an innovative long standing collaboration between viral ecology (Duhaime Lab) and applied microbiology (Wigginton Lab) research groups. This position is a good fit for someone with expertise in bioinformatic analysis of metagenomic sequence data and preferably environmental microbiology or virology. The scholar would work closely with group members and collaborators, assist the project team with field sampling and sample analysis. They will be involved in the design and execution of experiments, data analysis, manuscript preparation, and research presentations.
