This position is to a hire a Research Assistant who can develop Mathematical Models of infectious disease transmission. This project is focused on the role of human mobility on directly transmitted (HIV, HCV, SARS-CoV-2, measles, rubella), vector-borne diseases (malaria, dengue). Particular projects include modeling the role of travel on the spread of malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa, travel and injecting behaviors of people who inject drugs, and developing models able to determine the optimal allocation of vaccines. The position will require the development, evaluation, and investigation of spatial infectious disease transmission models. This position will also involve integrating various data sets (human travel, genomic information, serological status, and case data) to understand effective control policies.
