****POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATES****
Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology and the Center for the
Study of Complex Systems, University of Michigan, USA
and
Odum School of Ecology, University of Georgia
Applications are invited for two postdoctoral research fellowships in
epidemiological and ecological modeling and phylogenetics of Avian
Influenza Viruses. These posts are part of a long-term collaborative
project between Dr Pej Rohani (University of Michigan) and Drs Drake and
Stallknecht (University of Georgia). One postdoctoral position is
NSF-funded and will focus on the development of mathematical and
computational models relating to the persistence, transmission dynamics
and evolution of Avian Influenza Viruses within North American wild bird
populations. This position will be primarily supervised by Dr Pej Rohani
and the candidate will be based at the University of Michigan. The
second position, funded by the James S. McDonnell Foundation will focus
on the phylodynamics of Avian Influenza Viruses. This position will be
primarily supervised by Dr John Drake at the University of Georgia.
The ideal candidates would have a PhD in a highly quantitative field,
with previous experience in the analysis of ecological or
epidemiological systems.
The positions are potentially for 3 years, with a salary in the range of
$37,000-45,000 per year (depending on experience), plus fringe benefits.
For further information about the University of Michigan project,
contact Pej Rohani ([email protected]). For further information about
the University of Georgia project, contact John Drake
([email protected]). Applicants should send a detailed CV, together with
a brief statement of research interests and three references.
Review of applications will start on October 1 and will continue until
the posts have been filled.
