Dear All Please find below an advert for a role based at Porton Down looking at developing models for response to and planing for public health threats arising from emerging infectious diseases. The role exists within the Microbial Risk Assessment and Behavioural Science Unit, a multidisciplinary team that includes infectious disease biologists and epidemiologists, mathematical modellers, behavioural scientists, and specialists in geographic information systems and scientific computing. In partnership with others both within the PHE and from outside, we collate data and information from across the world on new and emerging infectious disease threats including potential bioterrorist threats. This information is integrated with a wide range of other UK specific data in order to develop risk assessments and mathematical models and other IT/computer-based applications to assist with emergency planning, training and response functions. With a PhD, in Mathematics or Statistics or substantially equivalent experience, you will have the necessary advanced statistical skills and experience to develop predictive, inferential and/or spatial models to help in the assessment and mitigation of the risks posed by infectious disease threats, including those posed by emerging exotic infections and bioterrorism. Working as part of an integrated multidisciplinary team and with external collaborators within and outside PHE, you will be a team player with excellent mathematical background, good report writing and programming experience and awareness of modelling infectious disease processes. Please note that this post is subject to obtaining a UK Government National Security Vetting Clearance at SC Level. This requires applicants to have been continuously resident in the UK for the last 5 years.
