Educational Opportunities
The Animal Population Health Institute is placed administratively within the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences. As such, all formal academic study resulting in an advanced degree follows guidelines set forth by Colorado State University.
Visiting Scientists, Post-doctoral Fellows, Research Associates
There are three main areas of faculty research within the Institute; namely, economically important infectious animal diseases, equine population health, and food animal diseases & production. Institute faculty members conduct laboratory or field-based research within these broad areas; there are opportunities for visiting scientists, post-doctoral fellows, and research associates. Interested individuals should contact potential faculty sponsors directly.
Graduate Students
Graduate students are admitted into a specific department within the University; APHI does not have a formal graduate degree program. Students interested in pursuing an advanced degree with a focus on infectious animal diseases, food animal production, pre-harvest food safety, diagnostic testing, risk modeling, and veterinary epidemiology are encouraged to contact the Institute faculty member with aligned interests. APHI faculty members have diverse interests and expertise and are available to work within their individual departmental guidelines and design a tailored program to meet individual student needs. The majority of the Institute's graduate students are enrolled within the Department of Clinical Sciences. All prospective students must apply to Colorado State University Graduate School and meet all admission requirements for the University and the department of interest.
