Research Scientist for Infectious Disease Modelling

6 days ago

White City, Canada Imperial College London Full time
Faculty of Medicine and Vaccine Epidemiology Research Group

We are recruiting a postdoctoral research scientist to lead modelling and data analytics research on wastewater surveillance for viruses with pandemic potential.

The world has never been at greater risk of new infectious disease pandemics. Global surveillance for emerging zoonotic viruses is inadequate to protect against this risk, especially in low-income populations that are at the highest risk. Wastewater surveillance potentially offers a scalable surveillance tool for the detection of spillover infection and human transmission of viral families of concern.

About the Role
  • Develop mathematical models of infectious disease spillover from animal populations and the potential sensitivity of wastewater surveillance compared with clinical surveillance for viruses identified by WHO as high risk for causing a pandemic
  • Review and evaluate the geographic distribution of pandemic risk for different viral families to co-design country or region-specific wastewater surveillance panels in collaboration with collaborating institutes and government agencies
  • Collaborate with national and international partners in Africa and Asia on statistical and math model based inference from wastewater surveillance data, including the development of methods where needed
  • Submit publications to online archives and peer-reviewed journals
  • Interact with other members of the research group and with our national and international partners
Requirements
  • You should hold a PhD in infectious disease epidemiology, biology, biomathematics or a related quantitative discipline with strong analytical skills and an interest in infectious disease epidemiology and/or vaccine research
  • Candidates who have not yet been officially awarded their PhD will be appointed as Research Assistant
  • Experience working with mathematical and/or statistical models, programming in R or similar language (e.g. python), and a strong interest in infectious disease are essential for the post

This role is offered on a full time, fixed term basis until 31 August 2027 in the first instance. Imperial College is supportive of flexible working.

Benefits
  • A sector-leading salary (£45,000 - £50,000 per annum)
  • 39 days off a year and generous pension schemes
  • The opportunity to continue your career at a world-leading institution and be part of our mission to continue science for humanity
