Postdoctoral position in multi-host multi-pathogen dynamics
A position is available at the University of Georgia for a postdoctoral associate to work on the evolutionary and ecological dynamics of multi-host multi-pathogen systems. The goal of the study is to identify diagnostic evolutionary signatures of host-pathogen interactions in model systems and surveillance data. Study systems include avian/human/swine influenza viruses, West Nile virus in North American birds, and Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD)/Bluetongue Virus (BTV) in white-tailed deer. There is considerable scope for new work to be developed and interested applicants are encouraged to inquire for details. The ideal applicant will have a PhD in a quantitative field (ecology, epidemiology, biostatistics, nonlinear dynamical systems, bioinformatics, etc.) with previous experience in the analysis of ecological or epidemiological data. The position is for 1-3 years, with a salary in the range of $37,000-$45,000 per year (depending on experience), plus fringe benefits. Additional information about research in this lab is available on the web at http://dragonfly.ecology.uga.edu/drakelab. For further information about the position, please contact Dr. John Drake ([email protected]). To apply, please send a detailed CV, together with a brief statement of research interests and contact information for three references.
