The Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute is the biggest institution for public health, international health and tropical medicine in Switzerland. The institute with over 700 employees delivers a sustainable contribution with its research, education and services to the improvement of health worldwide. The Department of Epidemiology and Public Health (EPH), within the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, develops and applies epidemiological, statistical and mathematical methods to advance innovation, validation, and application in the field of public health. Within the Infectious Disease Modelling Unit of EPH we are looking for a: PhD student in Mathematical Modelling of Malaria We are seeking a PhD student to join a multidisciplinary team working on mathematical and statistical modelling of the dynamics of malaria, in the context of international collaborations. This position is linked to the Swiss National Science Foundation Professorship of Melissa Penny on multi-scale mathematical modelling of parasite, drug and vaccine interactions. It will involve developing mathematical and statistical models of malaria dynamics and/or resistance evolution, and their application to the assessment of new interventions for control and elimination of malaria. Required qualifications for the PhD position are: (1) a Master’s degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Ecology or other relevant field; (2) strong quantitative, analytical and programming skills (preferably in at least one of R, C++, or Python); (3) interest and/or expertise in the areas of infectious disease modelling, epidemiology, public health, ecology; (4) ability to communicate effectively in spoken and written English, with good presentation skills; (5) ability to work independently ...

Department:     Mathematics, Statistics Section Salary:              £36,800 - £38,730 per annum plus benefits* Duration:           24 months, starting as soon as possible Closing date:    06 April 2017 How to apply:   http://www.imperial.ac.uk/employment  NAT00099 Applications are invited from a talented individual with strong quantitative skills to join Dr. Oliver Ratmann’s research group in the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London as a Research Associate in Statistics and Pathogen Phylodynamics, and in strong collaboration with Dr. Joshua Herbeck (University of Washington, USA) and further international academic and public health partners. The post holder will work as part of an international team to address key questions in HIV prevention from an objective marker, viral sequences, through state of the art statistical approaches that build on branching process theory, structured coalescent, and Bayesian hierarchical models (in short pathogen phylodynamics). The project brings together a multi-disciplinary team of public health communities (Public Health–Seattle and King County), and academic partners (Imperial College London, University of Washington, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle Children’s Research Institute). Outcomes will have direct impact to prevention and intervention programmes in Seattle, North America and Europe, as well as the UNAIDS cities initiative to fast-track elimination of HIV transmission. This post is an exciting opportunity to expand on significant recent methodological advances in pathogen phylodynamics, to build collaborations within an international, multi-disciplinary and world-leading team, and to shape a cutting-edge research project between core methodology and public health partners. The position is initially ...
