Mathematical Modeller - University of Bern (Bern, Switzerland)

We are looking for a Mathematical modeller

You will work closely with epidemiologists and statisticians to analyse data to develop and parameterise new mathematical models and modify existing models to gain insights into infection transmission systems, contribute to methodological advances in mathematical modelling and predict the impact of preventive interventions. We have a particular interest in sexually transmitted infections, with current projects investigating the transmission dynamics of Chlamydia trachomatis and the impact of partner notification and screening, and the population impact of antiretroviral therapy for HIV infection in resource limited settings. The successful candidate will also contribute to statistical analysis of cohort data using standard methods, write research papers and supervise PhD students. Applicants should have a University degree and a PhD or equivalent training in a relevant discipline. Experience of working with both compartmental and individual-based models, and longitudinal cohort data, would be an advantage. The post is offered for 2 years initially. Salary will depend on track record and experience.
