[Histonet] Histotech Fellowship Opportunity

From:"Arzt, Jonathan"

HISTOTECHNOLOGIST RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITY - HISTOPATHOLOGY ON
FOREIGN ANIMAL DISEASES
 
A unique Histotechnologist research fellowship is currently available
working within the pathology division of the USDA, Animal Research
Service on Plum Island, NY. We have an immediate opening for a 1-2 year
fellow with the possibility of extension beyond the initial fellowship
contract.
 
The primary mission of the research group is investigation of veterinary
diseases of potential threat to US agriculture interests. Currently the
greatest emphasis is directed towards characterizing the pathogenesis of
foot-and-mouth disease (aphthovirus).
 
The Plum Island Animal Disease Center is located off the East end of
Long Island, NY. Transport to and from the island is provided free to
employees aboard government-operated ferries servicing Orient, NY and
Old Saybrook, CT. Rural and suburban communities are abundant near both
the NY and CT sides of the ferries with access to scenic beaches and
vineyards. New York City and Boston are both within 3-4hrs drive. 
 
Activities will be varied but will include conventional histotech work,
cryosectioning, immunohistochemistry, in-situ hybridization, confocal
microscopy, and assistance with animal necropsies and sample collection.
The pathology group currently consists of two veterinary pathologists
and one other histotech; the group works closely with on-site molecular
biologists, immunologists, clinicians, and research fellows. 
 
Stipends (ranging from $35,000 to $45,000 a year) will be determined
according to education and experience in the field. This fellowship is
open to applicants with at least a bachelor's degree and experience in
histotechnology.
 
General aspects of the fellowship are described and application is
available at:

notify J. Arzt directly in addition to filing the application with
ORISE/ORAU.
