White City, Canada Imperial College London Full time

We are recruiting a highly skilled scientific researcher to lead modelling and data analytics research on wastewater surveillance for viruses with pandemic potential at Imperial College London.

Job Overview

The role involves developing 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. The successful candidate will work in the Vaccine Epidemiology Research Group (VERG) within the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology and MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Developing and applying mathematical and statistical models to determine the target product profile for wastewater surveillance (WS) for each viral family considered at high risk of causing the next pandemic.
  • Evaluating 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.
  • Collaborating 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.
Requirements

To be considered for this exciting opportunity, 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. 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.

What We Offer

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a world-leading institution and contribute to science for humanity. You will receive a sector-leading salary and remuneration package, including 39 days off a year and generous pension schemes. The 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.
