JOBS: TWO SENIOR POSTS IN INFECTIOUS DISEASE EPIDEMIOLOGY/MODELLING
A new collaborative project between eight leading research
groups of pneumococcal infections will begin in the autumn 2005.
The project is co-ordinated by the Department of Vaccines at the
National
Public Health Institute (KTL), Helsinki, Finland.
The project aims to develop and validate models on pneumococcal
colonisation
and vaccination effects, based on the extensive longitudinal data sets
gathered by
the research partners. The ultimate goal of the project is to establish
measurement
of colonisation as a central component in evaluating the clinical
effectiveness
of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines and vaccination programs.
We have two vacancies for medical statisticians/infectious disease
modellers
to work in this project. The role of the senior researchers is to
promote, coordinate
and conduct research during the 5-year project. The project offers
researchers with
broad range of methodologies a unique opportunity to combine extensive
data sets, data analysis and infectious disease modelling. In addition
to the
two senior researchers, the team will include two junior statisticians
and
the overall scientific team at KTL.
We are looking for senior researchers, with several years of experience
in
the analysis of infectious disease data and/or modelling of infectious
diseases,
experience of working with large datasets, familiarity with public
health and
epidemiology and a proven track record in publications in relevant
areas.
Both appointments will be for five years, with monthly
salaries 2416 - 4290 euros (+ pension and health insurances),
depending on qualifications and experience.
Applications should be sent to KTL by mail (National Public Health
Institute, Kirjaamo,
Mannerheimintie 166, 00300 Helsinki, Finland) or by e-mail
([log in to unmask]), with
reference "GCjobs". The application should contain at least
a brief introduction to the applicant, a CV (max 3 pages) and a list of
publications.
The closing date for the applications
is 15 October 2005. Further information is available from the KTL web
site at
www.ktl.fi/portal/english/osiot/ktl/career_opportunities by the end
of August, 2005, or from [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]
