> Postdoctoral Research Position in non-linear time series analysis of the
> spatio-temporal dynamics of childhood disease
>
> This position is funded by the Wellcome Trust and is tenable for up to
> five
> years. It is part of an overall project aimed at understanding the
> forces
> which drive the spatio-temporal dynamics and predictability of infectious
> diseases by using mathematical and statistical models. The focus of the
> postdoctoral research project is to perform a spatio-temporal nonlinear
> statistical analysis of data on measles, whooping cough and other
> childhood
> infections, thereby improving upon existing epidemiological modelling.
> This
> will involve extending existing nonlinear time series methodology, by
> deriving
> biologically realistic mechanistic models that can be used to test
> vaccination
> strategies.
>
> There are pronounced links with nonlinear time series modelling and
> dynamical
> systems. It will be useful if the candidate for the post has an interest
> in
> biological systems and expertise in nonlinear time series analysis and
> non-parametric/semi-parametric regression. Some familiarity with
> dynamical
> systems theory, spatial statistics, wavelets, Generalized Linear Models
> would
> also be desirable (but not essential).
>
> The successful candidate will work within an active multidisciplinary
> research
> team of mathematical biologists and nonlinear time series collaborators.
>
> The salary will be in the range (18,915 - 25,452) pounds depending on
