Postdoctoral Research Associate

The mission of the Birkenheuer laboratory is to perform basic, translational and clinical research which advances our understanding of companion infectious diseases for the benefit of cats and dogs. The mission of the Department of Clinical Sciences: We are dedicated to excellence in educating and training veterinarians and comparative biomedical scientists, furthering health care and wellness through discovery and clinical research, providing outstanding and compassionate medical care to a wide range of animal patients, effectively engaging animal-owning public, government and industry partners, and providing leadership in integrating biomedical sciences to advance One Health.

The college is committed to making community a priority and promoting innovation. We embrace effective leadership and we champion personal and professional growth. North Carolina State University's College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) is a dynamic community whose members are dedicated to preparing veterinarians and veterinarian scientists while advancing animal and human health from the cellular level through entire ecosystems. With the graduation of its first class in 1985, the CVM remains one of the younger veterinary programs in the country. Despite its relative youth, the College has gained international recognition on the strength of its teaching, research, engagement, and patient care efforts and is ranked among the top 5 of the nation's 33 colleges of veterinary medicine in the yearly U.S. News & World Report survey.
