PhD student position on the computational modeling of swine diseases.
We are looking for a highly motivated PhD-Student interested in the Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Disease transmission. The project combines mathematical modeling with the deployment of vaccination as major control intervention tactics. Accordingly, the candidate should have in addition to a mathematical/quantitative background, skills to deal with complex and diverse data, and a strong interest in infectious-disease epidemiology. The student will work on a range of specified research projects, but will be also highly encouraged and expected to develop and investigate his own research questions.Most of the research will be carried out at NCSU building on top of the existing research infrastructure via the RABapp™.
In particular, we maintain strong collaborations with the at North Carolina State University, and collaborating with the University of Surrey, U.K.
Applicants should send a cover letter, a detailed CV, and contact information for two or three academic references to: gmachad@ncsu.edu.
