Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência
Two Postdoctoral Researchers
A Marie Curie Excellence Team funded by the European Commission has been established at the Instituto Gulbenkian the Ciência to develop mathematical models for infectious diseases. The group, currently consisting of 12 researchers, intends to reinforce its modeling capacities through the recruitment of 2 postdoctoral researchers. The positions are for two years.
Successful candidates should hold a PhD, demonstrate experience in mathematical, computational, statistical modeling or data analysis in population biology, and potential to develop one of the following lines of research:
1) Integration of within-host mechanisms (such as host immunity, parasite diversification and selection) into epidemiological models;
2) Integration of demographic and geographic information into epidemiological models.
Overall, the team combines the analysis of biological and epidemiological data with mathematical modeling to achieve a better understanding of reinfection processes, with the ultimate goal of informing vaccine development and public health.

Deadline for applications: December 20, 2006, or until positions are filled. The preferred starting date is April 1, 2007.
Applications, including research interests, CV, and two letters of reference should be sent to the contact below. Informal enquiries should be addressed to Gabriela Gomes (ggomes@igc.gulbenki an.pt).
