The demographic structure of populations in both more developed and less developed countries is changing: increases in life expectancy and declining fertility have led to older populations and smaller households. The implications of these demographic changes for the spread and control of infectious diseases are not fully understood. While reasonable over short time frames, for example […]
ASTMH is seeking applications from full-time post-doctoral fellows (PhD, MD or DVM degrees or the equivalent) with positions at U.S. or Canadian institutions for an opportunity focused on benefiting underserved populations around the world where the burden of disease is high. This Centennial award provides physicians or scientists with $25,000 for field experience in […]

A new short course programme we will be hosting at the University of Oxford in September 2019: Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases – intermediate level. See detail
Dr Thomas Prowse and I have a top-up scholarship available to work on a project Modelling Multi-strain RHDV Dynamics in Exotic Rabbits. This is an exciting project that will focus on developing methods for fitting stochastic, multi-strain, coupled ecological-epidemiological models to spatio-temporal data, and, using one of the best available time-series datasets in disease ecology, will address […]
The University of Bristol-University of Cape Town Cotutelle PhD Programme Background to the Bristol-Cape Town Cotutelle PhD Programme: The University of Bristol (UoB) and the University of Cape Town (UCT) have worked together to develop a framework agreement for operating Cotutelle PhDs. Cotutelle PhDs are distinguished by a number of features that comprise a very […]
An exciting opportunity to work on a collaborative project exploring regionally coordinated strategies to prevent the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through the Victorian healthcare system. This project will link Victorian patient admission datasets with existing and prospectively collected genomic microbiologic data through applying network analysis and modelling methods to characterise and simulate intra- and […]
