*Post-Doctoral Fellow and Research Assistant Professor in Biostatistics
and Infectious Disease Epidemiology*
School of Public Health, the University of Hong Kong.
Appointments will be made for a period of 2-3 years, with the
possibility of renewal. A highly competitive salary commensurate with
qualifications and experience will be offered.
The University Grants Committee (Hong Kong) are funding an Area of
Excellence in ‘Control of Pandemic and Inter-Pandemic Influenza’, with
which are associated two new PDF and RAP positions in the School of
Public Health. Appointees will work under the guidance of senior staff
on the analysis of data from ongoing and completed large community
studies of influenza and other respiratory viruses, as well as
theoretical work on experimental design and analysis, and publish their
findings in leading scientific journals. The PDF and RAP positions are
research-focused with strict limits on teaching responsibilities,
suitable for early career scientists.
Applicants should have or be about to complete a PhD in Statistics,
Biostatistics, or an equivalent qualification, an interest in both
methodology and applications, and should have demonstrated research
potential. Experience in any of these areas would be valuable:
infectious disease modelling, longitudinal data analysis, survival
analysis, Bayesian inference and MCMC.
Closing date: 9 June 2008.
