We are expanding our team working on the Atlas of Baseline Risk Assessment for Infectious Diseases and this is one of two computational statistician posts that we are currently advertising. We are using data from a wide range of sources to model spatial variation in under five-year old mortality, the syndromes causing these patterns of mortality (e.g. severe diarrhoea and acute respiratory illness), and the pathogens causing these syndromes. You will lead a programme of research to develop species distribution/niche models that predict the occurrence of pathogens with different transmission modes (e.g. water-borne diseases, sexually transmitted diseases and so on).
You will have a PhD in computer science, statistics, maths or another relevant subject, and postdoctoral experience of leading a programme of research. You will have demonstrable competence in at least one programming language and a good knowledge of probability theory/statistics. Experience of niche modelling and/or infectious disease epidemiology would be highly desirable.
Applications will also be considered for appointment at the appropriate salary range of Grade 7 (£30,434 - £37,394 p.a.) with a suitable adjustment to duties and responsibilities.
Fixed-term for 1 year in the first instance, with the possibility of extension and based either in Oxford or the USA. Funding is provided for this post by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Please quote reference 116000 on all correspondence. You will be required to upload a CV and supporting statement as part of your online application.
Only applications received before 12.00 midday on Monday 26 January 2015 will be considered.
