The lab of Sarah Cobey in the Department of Ecology & Evolution at the University of Chicago invites applications for postdoctoral positions in infectious disease modeling. One position is available to investigate the acquisition of antibody-mediated immunity to influenza and consequences for viral evolution and vaccination strategies. Another position will evaluate statistical methods to infer pathogen interactions of varying complexity from different types of observations. Successful candidates for both positions will be independent and collaborative and have strong programming skills in Java or C++. Applicants interested in the first project would ideally have a background in immunology, bioinformatics, or molecular evolution, and applicants for the second would have a background in probabilistic modeling, statistics, theoretical ecology, or nonlinear dynamics. For further information, please contact Sarah Cobey ([email protected]). Interested candidates should email their detailed CV, a few relevant publications, the names of several references, and a description of their current research interests and future plans to the same address. The University of Chicago is an Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer.
