The Fox Lab at NAU is looking to hire a postdoctoral researcher to lead our group’s outbreak forecasting efforts. The postdoc will work with both domestic and international public-health partners to support real-time modeling and response and build the next generation of our forecast models. The initial position is for 1 year, but I expect to renew the position for multiple years.
A few key benefits of the position (see the full job posting for more details):
- Competitive salary in the range of $65,000–$78,000 depending on experience and fit.
- Comprehensive benefits package through NAU.
- Flexible, supportive research environment, with space to develop independent modeling projects alongside core forecasting work.
- A fun, inclusive, and highly collaborative lab culture — more about us on the Fox Lab website.
- Flagstaff’s exceptional work-life balance, with immediate access to mountains, trails, and numerous national parks and monuments within a short drive.
- Remote-optional position for strong candidates, though in-person presence in Flagstaff is preferred.
For applicants who would like more information before going through the application process, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly to Spencer (spencer.fox@nau.edu) with any questions or to schedule a preliminary chat about the position.
