Postdoctoral Fellow
The Hermance laboratory in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of South Alabama is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to lead multiple aspects of core laboratory projects examining tick-virus-host interactions. Essential job duties will include planning and executing laboratory experiments or projects related to: tick vector competency, intra-tick infection biology, and skin immunology at the tick feeding site. These projects involve tick-borne flaviviruses and bandaviruses, several of which must be manipulated within Biosafety Level-3 facilities. While experience working with ticks and/or virus is preferred, these skills are not required. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the training/mentoring of graduate student researchers and research technologists, and should therefore be capable of working both independently and as part of a team. The individual will be expected to uphold a collaborative environment and possess strong verbal/written communication and organizational skills. Required qualifications: Ph.D. and research experience in microbiology, virology, immunology, vector biology, medical entomology, or a related field. To apply, please submit a CV, a letter (1 page or less) summarizing research interests and goals, and the contact information for three references to Meghan Hermance, Ph.D. at mhermance@southalabama.edu.
Postdoctoral Fellow
A postdoctoral position is immediately available at Lim laboratory in Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, College of Medicine, University of South Alabama. A highly skilled recent PhD in biomedical science related disciplines is required. We are studying nuclear signaling roles of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in vascular disease and cancer using biochemistry, molecular biology, epigenetic tools and genetic mouse models (Circ Res. Jeong et al. 2019, Cardiovascular Res. Jeong et al. 2021, Sci Rep. Murphy et al. 2019). Salary commensurate with experience. Please send CV and three references to Dr. Steve Lim at limlabusa@gmail.com.

Postdoctoral Researcher – Small Community/Decentralized Wastewater Systems
Job Type: Post-Doc
Job Rank: Postdoctoral Researcher
Job Institution: University of South Alabama, Department of Civil, Coastal, & Environmental Engineering
Job Description:
The Department of Civil, Coastal, & Environmental Engineering at the University of
South Alabama invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position for in the
area of Small Community/Decentralized Wastewater Systems. The postdoctoral scholar
will work on a multi-university team funded by the prestigious Columbia World Projects
endowment looking to evaluate and demonstrate decentralized wastewater models (financial,
technological, management entity, etc.) for small/rural community viability. The
project is also looking to develop data and tools that allow an exploration of the
financial and technical applicability of decentralized wastewater collection/treatment/reuse
systems as a function of scale. We see this as the direction for the future in both
rural and urban environments. The candidate of interest would have skills in decentralized
wastewater system technologies, network optimization, financial analysis, smart systems,
sensors & control, and be adept in spatio-temporal data analytics. We are seeking
an independent researcher with good communication skills (to interact with academic
partners and local communities) and an ability to work on a highly collaborative team.
Applicants must be eligible to work in the U.S. The University of South Alabama is an EO/AA Employer – minorities/females/veterans/disabilities/sexual orientation/gender identity
