Postdoctoral Position in Cholera Transmission Dynamics Our group in the Department of Epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is looking for a post-doctoral fellow to work on projects related to modeling cholera transmission dynamics and control. Highly quantitative individuals with experience in epidemiology, ecology or mathematical modeling of biological systems will be considered. Experience in agent or meta- population based modeling of infectious disease transmission, or the epidemiology of cholera or other water borne pathogens will also be considered. Applicants with, or nearing completion of, a doctoral degree in epidemiology, ecology, or a related quantitative field (e.g., computer science, statistics) will be considered.
The successful applicant will work with Dr. Justin Lessler and colleagues on a project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation aimed at understanding the dynamics of cholera transmission and answering specific, policy relevant questions concerning the spread and control of cholera. They will be joining a highly collaborative infectious disease dynamics group who work on projects ranging from empirical data collection to theoretical modeling of disease dynamics. While this position will focus on cholera specifically, there will be ample opportunities to work on cross cutting projects focused on issues in infectious disease transmission and control. Interested candidates should contact Justin Lessler ([email protected]) with a CV, statement of interest, and references.
