ARS Office/Lab and Location: A food microbiologist or biologist postdoctoral fellowship is available with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS), Eastern Regional Research Center (ERRC), Residue Chemistry and Predictive Microbiology Research Unit (RCPMRU) located in Wyndmoor, PA.
Research Project: The selected participant will be conducting research to develop mathematical models to predict the dynamic growth and survival of foodborne pathogens in raw and processed foods to enhance the safety of the nation’s food supply. This research program involves development of deterministic and stochastic methodologies to predict the dynamic changes in the microbial populations throughout the supply chain. The Fellow will collaborate with a team of microbiologists, food technologists, and food engineers to develop predictive models to stakeholders in the food industry and regulatory agencies.
Learning Objectives:
The participant will gain valuable experience collaborating with a team of food microbiologists, technologists, and engineers to develop predictive models for foodborne pathogens.
The participant will become proficient at integrating disparate data sources and modeling techniques.
The participant will gain experience in developing dynamic predictive models in food microbiology.
The participant will gain valuable experience in the process of conducting scientific research, synthesizing data, and publishing the results in peer reviewed journal articles.

Mentor(s): The mentor for this opportunity is Lihan Huang (lihan.huang@usda.gov). If you have questions about the nature of the research please contact the mentor(s).
Anticipated Appointment Start Date: May 2022. Start date is flexible and will depend on a variety of factors.
