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, rotavirus 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 anytime in October or November 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.
