Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Geospatial Modelling of Infectious
Diseases
Applications to be received by 12pm on Wednesday 10th of May 2017
Grade 7: £31,076 - £38,183 with a discretionary range to £41,709 p.a.
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in
Geospatial Modelling of Infectious Diseases at the Malaria Atlas Project
(MAP) led by Professor Peter Gething in the Nuffield Department of
Medicine, Big Data Institute. MAP brings together researchers based
around the world with expertise in a wide range of disciplines from
public health to mathematics, geography, and epidemiology.
You will work collaboratively with other scientists within the wider MAP
group to develop statistical methods to produce global estimates of the
burden of malaria. An understanding of spatiotemporal modelling and
expertise in geostatistics, random-field models, or equivalent are
essential. You will be expected to follow and contribute to coding and
data-management standards. You will be expected to follow best-practice
in writing code, including the use of source-control and a commitment to
thorough documentation.
You will contribute to and, as appropriate, lead in the preparation of
scientific reports and journal articles for publication of research
findings from this work in open access journals. Travel to collaborators
in Europe, the United States, Africa, and Asia will be part of the role
and you will be expected to present the findings from your work at
selected international conferences. The position is fixed-term for 2
years in the first instance and is funded through the Institute of
Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), The University of Washington, Seattle.
You will hold first or upper second class Bachelor degree and PhD or
equivalent experience in a quantitative discipline with a demonstrable
competence in spatiotemporal modelling. You will have expertise in
geostatistics, random-field models, or equivalent and demonstrable
commitment to using best practices in writing code, including the use of
source control, documentation, and coding standards. You will also have
the ability to manage own academic research and meet defined milestones
on time; demonstrable evidence of having worked successfully within a
collaborative, team-based research setting and excellent communication
skills (oral and written).
The position is fixed-term for 2 years in the first instance and funded
by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Please quote reference 128455 on all correspondence. You will be
required to upload a CV and supporting statement as part of your online
application.
