Student Opportunities

Postdoctoral position on infectious disease dynamics and climate

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position to work on the population dynamics of infectious diseases and climate variability. The research will focus on the dynamics of cholera and involve the development of mathematical models of disease and their interface with novel statistical inference methods for time series data.

The initial appointment will be for one year with the possibility of renewal.

Required expertise: Applicants should have a doctoral degree in Ecology, Epidemiology, Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, or a climate-related field. Experience in mathematical modelling and strong programming skills are essential. Expertise with stochastic models, time series analysis, and/or parameter estimation (such as Monte Carlo methods) is preferred. We will also consider applicants from climate related fields with expertise in forecasting and time-series modelling who are interested in applications to epidemiology.

Compensation: Salary will start at US$ 40,000.

To apply: Please submit application electronically by sending CV, letter of interest, and names of three references to Mercedes Pascual at pascual@umich.edu and Aaron King at kingaa@umich.edu.

Anticipated starting date: September 15 or later.

Postdoctoral Associates

The Computational Ecology & Epidemiology Study Group is an unofficial affiliation of researchers at the University of Georgia with the shared goal of applying computational methods and biomathematics to the analysis of problems in the population biology, ecology, and evolution of complex systems, with an emphasis on infectious diseases.

NEW POSITIONS: Position are available for postdoctoral associates in several groups
