<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt">Two Postdoctoral Research Associate Positions<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt">Two Postdoctoral Research Associate positions are available in the Kaufman veterinary entomology laboratory in Department of Entomology at Texas A&M University in College Station, TX to work on ticks. The
Texas A&M veterinary entomology laboratory focuses on the development of new pest management tools for livestock systems. Beef cattle, dairy cattle and horses are the predominant livestock in Texas and are a focus of this program; while investigations on improvement
for ectoparasite management on companion animals and wildlife are a second focus. Insecticide resistance and control failures are commonplace for many fly and tick pests; therefore, innovative systems are needed to assist in their management.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt">Cattle fever tick resistance: The Postdoctoral Research Associate will be responsible for the identification of molecular mechanisms related to ivermectin resistance in the cattle fever tick, including identification of
target-site insensitivity and detoxification mechanisms, and development of a diagnostic assay. This project is a partnership with the Knipling-Bushland U.S. Livestock Insects Research Laboratory and the position is available for one year with potential for
renewal should funding be available. Apply at: <a href="https://tamus.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/AgriLife_Research_External/job/College-Station-AL-RSCH/Postdoctoral-Research-Associate_R-040393">
