Post Doctoral Researcher in Mathematical Modelling of Infectious
Diseases (UDIC).
LOCATION
IC3 Headquarters in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND WORK ENVIRONMENT
The Institut Catal? de Ci?ncies del Clima (IC3) is a climate institution
created by the Government of Catalunya and the University of Barcelona,
aiming at understanding climate change and variability, the dynamics and
theory underlying those changes and the impact on society. IC3 focus on
the Mediterranean regions, tropical Africa, South America and Southeast
Asia.
The UDIC is interested in research fields as diverse as Mediterranean
and tropical climates, teleconnections and global climate dynamics, ENSO
genesis and its predictability, the role of climate variability on the
global carbon cycle and understanding, detecting and simulating climate
impacts. On the latter, the RG on Climate and Health is specifically
devoted to modeling the dynamics of infectious diseases driven by
climate variability. In particular, we have been very active in trying
to understand better the way vector-borne diseases behave and how their
epidemiology interacts with the environment and climate in both endemic
and epidemic settings. Malaria, dengue, chikungunya and leishmaniasis
are among our interests, though we work also on other relevant human
diseases with an environmental link such as cholera and Kawasaki disease.
For details, see www.ic3.cat
DESIRED SKILLS / QUALIFICATIONS
Ideal candidates will have several of the following attributes:
- Skill and demonstrated ability and experience in building, calibrating
and in the validation of mathematical models (stochastic ODE systems)
for modeling the dynamics of infectious disease (VBD) or/and (WBD).
Experience in procedures for estimating modeling parameters (e.g. MIF
methods), will be highly valued.
- The candidate should have demonstrated facility in handling large
database (especially climatic databases) and in programming languages
needed for developing code and scripts, as well as proven skills in
advanced statistics is a strong requirement.
- Capacity to write proposals, manuscripts and to work with other
colleagues in a highly collaborative environment will also be valued.
- Fluency in spoken and written English, fluency in other European
languages will be also valued.
CONDITIONS AND APPLICATION PROCEDURES
The position is opened for 24 months with a possibility for extension
and starts preferably in March 2014 or as soon as possible after that
date.The salary will be competitive and commensurate with experience.
To apply, please send your CV accompanied with a brief statement (max. 1
page) of interest and experience with the following subject ?Application
for Postdoc researcher in Mathematical Modelling? by e-mail to jobs@ic3.cat
Selected finals candidates should ask for three letters of
recommendation from scientists from paces other than their current
workplace. A letter from the PhD advisor is also encouraged.

SCENARIO NERC Doctoral Training Partnership
A postgraduate centre in the Science of the Environment:
Natural and Anthropogenic pRocesses, Impacts and Opportunities
http://www.reading.ac.uk/nercdtp
The SCENARIO DTP has been awarded 12 PhD STUDENTSHIPS, fully-funded by
NERC, for entry in October 2014. In addition, 3 STUDENTSHIPS funded by
the NERC Industrial CASE scheme are available. Funding includes a
stipend of ?13726 per year, payment of fees, training plus travel and
subsistence at fieldwork and conferences. Full-funding is only available
to students from the UK, and other EU citizens who have been resident in
the UK for 3 years. Funding without the stipend is available to all EU
citizens.
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: 31 January 2014
Projects offered by the SCENARIO DTP are based at the University of
Reading, the University of Surrey, the NERC Centre for Ecology and
Hydrology (CEH) or the British Geological Survey (BGS).
The scientific scope of SCENARIO is broad, spanning the physical,
chemical and biological processes operating in the Earth system,
including atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere and terrestrial components.
There are projects involving fieldwork, computer modelling,
theoretical/mathematical development and laboratory studies. SCENARIO
seeks to attract high-quality graduates (with BSc or MSc) from science,
mathematics, engineering and physical geography degrees.
APPLICATIONS ARE ENCOURAGED FROM STUDENTS COMPLETING DEGREES IN
MAINSTREAM SCIENCE SUBJECTS (PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY AND BIOLOGY),
MATHEMATICS AND GEOGRAPHY WITH OR WITHOUT AN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
ELEMENT. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE OFFERS EXCITING PROSPECTS AND IS AN
EXPANDING AREA IN BUSINESS AND RESEARCH SEEKING PEOPLE WITH POSTGRADUATE
SKILLS.
Please visit our website:
http://www.reading.ac.uk/nercdtp
to see the range of projects on offer and instructions on how to apply.
Many of the projects involve partners from industry or public sector
organisations, such as the Met Office, offering co-supervision and time
on placement in industry. Some have additional support from the industry
partners through the CASE sponsorship scheme.
There are opportunities for SCENARIO students to work abroad at one of
our 3 international partners: the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (CalTech),
University of Oklahoma and University of Hamburg.
SCENARIO will provide PhD training ranging from in-depth disciplinary
underpinning science, to projects that explore and deepen the links
between disciplines. It will develop your skills in environmental
sciences by exploiting diverse training opportunities including:
subject-specific courses (MSc-level modules), high performance
computing, fieldwork, laboratory work, professional development and
short team-work courses.
