As part of the university's comprehensive vaccination program, all Cornell employees are required to have and provide proof of an FDA-or WHO-authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccine and booster or have obtained a university-approved disability/medical or religious exemption, regardless of their role and work location.
New hires are required to provide documentation showing full vaccination status (that is, completion of two shots of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine or one shot of the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson) before their first day of work. If a new hire's vaccination is not complete or information is not received by their start date, the first day of work will be delayed. It is possible in some cases that an offer of employment may be withdrawn. New hires are also required to have and provide proof of their vaccine booster within 30 days of the start of their employment or within 30 days of eligibility for the vaccine booster.

The Department of Public and Ecosystem Health mission is to use a transdisciplinary, systems approach to tackle the world’s most pressing challenges that involve the inter-dependent health of people, animals, and the ecosystems on which all life depends. Rather than organize around a common discipline or approach, Public & Ecosystem Health brings public health professionals, biophysical and social scientists, and veterinarians together to address three of the world’s greatest challenges: achieving healthy food systems, tackling emerging health threats, and conserving biodiversity. We seek not only to understand these wicked problems through research, but also to address them directly through public health and clinical veterinary practice. Quite simply, our students, staff, and faculty seek to change the world. To do this, we utilize a transdisciplinary One Health/Planetary Health systems approach, and base our work in the principles of sustainability, equity, and engagement.
The Cazer Lab in the Department of Public and Ecosystem Health, Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine is seeking an outstanding postdoctoral associate in the area of antimicrobial resistance surveillance, using methods from computational biology, machine learning, and statistics.
The Cazer Lab broadly investigates the epidemiology of zoonotic and infectious diseases with computational and field studies. We are primarily interested in the development and spread of antimicrobial resistant bacteria among animals and humans. Specifically, we are investigating novel computational approaches to antimicrobial resistance surveillance to detect increases in resistance and quantify the impacts of mitigation approaches, such as antimicrobial use restrictions in livestock. We also have projects investigating syndromic surveillance for COVID-19 in institutional and community settings, as well as the prevalence and persistence of immunity post-vaccination and post-natural infection.
The postdoctoral associate will work primarily on antimicrobial resistance surveillance and evaluating antimicrobial stewardship interventions in animals using national and local surveillance datasets. Bacteria of interest include Salmonella enterica Dublin, Escherichia coli, and staphylococci. There will be opportunities to develop independently driven projects on infectious disease epidemiology. We have access to laboratory diagnostic results, veterinary and human medical records, and national antimicrobial resistance surveillance data. Qualified candidates will have opportunities to supervise graduate, veterinary, and undergraduate students.
