JOB DESCRIPTION
An enthusiastic, organized and ambitious worker is required to join a three-year multi-disciplinary project carrying out the first systematic survey of Culicoides biting midges in India. The project is a collaboration between India and the United Kingdom funded under the CIDLID scheme http://www.iah.ac.uk/CIDLID/Default.aspx and involving nine separate internationally renowned institutes. Based at TANUVAS, the person employed will play a key role in initially organizing the logistics of Culicoides collection across Tamil Nadu and will liaise with veterinary workers carrying out the trapping. Once the trapping network is in place, the selected candidate will then carry out identification of samples in partnership with experts at the Institute for Animal Health, UK and fellow workers based in Bangalore and Karnataka states.These data will be integrated into models of Culicoides populations allowing prediction of bluetongue virus outbreaks in advance of their occurrence. The selected candidate will additionally be responsible for planning and conducting detailed field experiments based around controlling Culicoides in collaboration with Rothamsted Research and the London School for Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. These data will be assessed for integration into the everyday lives of subsistence farmer groups as part of wider dissemination frameworks for improvement of ruminant productivity and control of vectors of veterinary pathogens.
In addition to the training provided in India, the selected candidate will also benefit from a period of training in the UK under scientists with an internationally competitive track record of peer-reviewed publications. The selected candidate will spend an extended period at the Institute for Animal Health using state of the art imaging and insectary facilities to complement those already in place in TANUVAS for the project use. There will also be the opportunity to visit other partner organizations during the visit to both form contacts for the future and to understand the breadth of the project areas.
