Job Summary
Under general supervisor of the Principal Investigator (PI) and his executive assistant, provide administrative assistance to the Vector Genetics Laboratory, a research group dedicated to advancing scientific understanding of the genetics, genomics, and bioinformatics of insect vectors that transmit human and animal disease and to improving vector control strategies through applied research.

We are pleased to announce the publication of Maria Corrêa's paper, “Aquatic macroinvertebrate diversity in mosquito larval habitats in São Tomé and Príncipe,” in PLOS ONE. This study provides the first detailed characterization of aquatic macroinvertebrate communities in mosquito larval habitats on São Tomé and Príncipe, documenting diverse taxa and habitat-specific patterns that are important for understanding ecosystem structure and potential interactions with disease vectors.
