A fully funded MS or PhD position is available with the Veterinary Education, Research, and Outreach Program (VERO; veroresearch.org) within the Texas A&M University School of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences. Potential projects include developing and applying molecular techniques to uncover the contribution of fungal communities to bovine liver abscess (LA) formation, linking species-level pathogen populations between LAs and the bovine gut, and investigating biomarkers (e.g., Mycoplasma:Moraxella  ratio) as predictors of bovine respiratory disease (BRD). Projects will require the development/use of qPCR and amplicon sequencing (ITS and FrpoB-seq) assays.
