Post Doctoral Scientist – Infectious Disease Modelling

The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) seeks to recruit a Postdoctoral Researcher on infectious disease modelling to work in an exciting, highly interdisciplinary project funded by the Wellcome Trust that aims to study the relative impacts of climate, land use, and demographic changes on the transmission patterns of selected mosquito-borne arboviral diseases in animals and humans.

The Post Doc will have sufficient knowledge on vector-borne diseases, infectious disease modelling, and applied computing to enable him/her to lead the development of robust prediction models that balances the need for simplicity and accuracy. Despite this expectation, the post doc will have opportunities to develop his/her skills further through training, mentorship or any other relevant competency development activities.
