She completed her Ph.D. in Biology, with a specialization in molecular and microbiology, in 2013 at West Virginia University. Prior to her arrival at Goucher, she was a Post-Doctoral Research Microbiologist at the National Center for Cool and Cold Water Aquaculture (United State Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service). At Goucher, she teaches a broad range of biology and environmental science courses for both majors and non-majors. She is also actively involved in science outreach. Jozwick’s research focuses on understanding the genetic basis microbial species interactions with one another and their animal host. Her lab combines classical microbiology with continually evolving molecular techniques to examine how agriculturally-important microbes evolve in response to host defense, human intervention and environmental change.
