There is a new position listing for an ORISE-USDA postdoctoral fellowship at the USDA-ARS Honey Bee Lab in Davis, California. Details can be found here: https://www.zintellect.com/Opportunity/Details/USDA-ARS-HQ-2026-0014
Research Project: The Pollinator Health Research Unit is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to apply biotechnological approaches to improve the health and resilience of managed honey bees. The successful candidate will contribute to research projects focused on the development of novel therapeutics and the discovery of bioactive compounds that mitigate major stressors affecting honey bees, including parasites and pathogens.
Research activities will involve the application of molecular and cellular biology, biotechnology, and chemical biology to honey bee health challenges. Projects include therapeutic development and mechanistic studies to understand host–pathogen interactions. The fellowship will include laboratory-based research using modern molecular and biochemical techniques. Some field research may be required and will involve handling managed honey bee colonies.
