This position is to hire a non-tenure track faculty (research associate) member who has expertise in the spatial modeling of vector-borne disease transmission. This person will be a part of the larger Infectious Disease Dynamics Group at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, under the advisement of Drs. Amy Wesolowski and Derek Cummings. The projects are focused on mapping and modeling malaria, dengue, and Zika transmission including the spread of drug-resistant parasites (malaria) and estimating population-level susceptibility using various molecular, epidemiological, and entomological data sets (dengue and Zika). This position will require the development, evaluation, and investigation of spatial infectious disease transmission models. This position requires an understanding of various types of data, including genomic, serologic, environmental, and epidemiological data. Additionally, this position requires assisting in mentoring and training staff and students as part of research projects.
Specific duties and responsibilities will include: developing transmission models, model fitting, spatial analyses, statistical analyses of complex data sets, writing scientific manuscripts, scientific presentations, and mentoring/teaching staff and students as part of research projects.
