Alexandria Boehm

Alexandria Boehm at Stanford University is searching for a post doctoral researcher to carry out research related to understanding the sources, presence, persistence, and transport of pathogens in the environment. The post doc will be stationed at Stanford University in the department of civil and environmental engineering or the department of oceans and carry out laboratory and field measurements to better understand the distribution, persistence, and sources of pathogens in the environment. This could include, but is not limited to, work on pathogens on fomites, in water and wastewater, and in air. Research on control measures to reduce concentrations of pathogens in the environment is also within scope. The Boehm lab works with pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and eukaryotic organisms. An ideal candidate will be skilled in QPCR and / or droplet digital PCR, as well as traditional microbial cultivation, and / or viral infectivity assays.
