My group carries out research on the ecology and epidemiology of enteric (food and waterborne) diseases. We use environmental microbiology and environmental epidemiology methods to study water quality, food safety, and the impact of climate and land use change on the transmission of diarrheal diseases.
For additional details about my research program, please see my research group website at http://klevyresearch.org
Available to mentor new Master's and PhD students in autumn 2021.
Several positions are available in our growing research group for PhD and Masters students interested in enteric pathogens, water and sanitation, and climate and health. In particular we have ongoing research projects in Ecuador and Mozambique focused on the interaction of enteric pathogens and the gut microbiome. We are particularly interested in students with previous training in one or more of the following areas: microbiology, genomics/meta-genomics, Spanish and/or Portuguese language, and longitudinal data analysis. Prospective students should send me an email expressing their research interests, and a description of their background and research skills, along with their CV. There are also additional questions in the online application.
